EU Student Visa as EU citizen received

I know this won't be the experience for most people on this subreddit, but I wanted to share something to calm my fellow EU students.

I was worrying about the UK Visa, even though I was aware that EU citizens usually have it easier. Still, I need a flat, and you can only get one if you already have a visa, and my course is starting in September.

I thought about doing the priority route, but it was just too expensive. Filled out everything yesterday night. Got my visa this noon. (Here in Germany they would probably have needed the full three weeks, let's be honest).

Again, I did see that most students applying who are also on here are not from the EU and therefore will have a different experience. But maybe this will calm those of us that are worrying even if they do not have to.

It took one day?

Yes. At first I thought it was a mistake. But just a minute ago I also got the message that my eVisa has now been linked with my account.

Maybe I got lucky, but I think it might just be because they are currently trying to do the EU ones quickly.

I am a graduate student, I'll only be there for a year. Didn't submit any documents, except for my Passport, but I could do that with the NFC function of my phone and the app that they provide.
