HE Student and ESA and DLA

Hi
I'm on C based ESA having been moved from incapacity.
I am a disabled student at university studying full time.
At the moment I receive a student loan which helps pay for my acomodation and any additional costs at university. This has almost gone now due to the rent being so expensive.
My ESA pays for living costs such as food and travel etc.
I am in receipt of DLA as well.
With me being on contributions based ESA, how will this work in 12 months when I am moved off it and on to income related ESA.
will the ESA reduce due to the student loan?
is the student loan seen as income?
Will I get ESA at all?
How does the whole disabled student ESA thing work?
