Effects of Brexit to EU students

So i have been living in the UK for 8 years now, i currently hold a Spanish Passport, this september i am going into University and have been eligible for a student loan and maintenance loan. Now that the UK is officially leaving the EU, how would it affect me in the future?

I am worried that in the upcoming future i won't be able to afford going to University and Living within their accomodation, could this ruin my future and other EU students?

It can take approx 2 years to officially leave. Please don't worry this will only affect future EU migrants.

Oh man.. that really sucks. I am unsure but wouldnt they have the same applications to EU Students in UK to British Students in EU? but then again 2 years isn't enough for you to complete the course... ahhhh :/

Until definite proposals are announced any speculation about what students will, or won't, be able to do is pure speculation. Abandoning future study plans at this stage is utterly ridiculous.

Right so I'll be 5 years into me degree having spent around 54thousand and then the government decide if my degree is legible or not, so it's not really ridiculous is it

You can always ask for a dual citizenship.. but the actual brexit won't be there for quite a few years

Changing your whole future plans 1 hour after the referendum result was announced and before anything has been announced about student funding most certainly is ridiculous. Are all your life decisions knee-jerk reactions?
