I wanted to give a massive shoutout to everyone who contributed here. I wanted to share my experience through this process. It may give some people hope/and help them prepare for the journey to study in the United Kingdom.

Waiting for collection mail .....
By 29th September 2023, No collection mail; the following week, I sent a series of emails to update my Uni.
I visited the TLS centre to check if it might be an issue with them emailing or texting me on 3rd October 2023, and I was told my passport was not ready; I met quite a few people with the same issue on that day, BRP email and no collection email, distressed is an understatement.. trust me.
I emailed the Uni to please extend the last day of enrolment for me as I already have the BRP email on 5th October 2023 by 10 am; shortly after sending that email, I got an email from TLS to collect my passport !!
I'm at the airport right now with no sleep as It has been a massive rush!
It doesn't matter if you're applying three months before resumption; please use it if you can afford priority. The gamble and stress/anxiety that comes with waiting is NOT WORTH IT! That being said, I know a few people who used priority and waited two months plus.
God speed.
