Absolutely hating University so far and in need of advice.

I've just finished my first week and my god, I have never felt so lonely in my life. I live at home which I feel magnifies that feeling of isolation and missing out. I also absolutely despise my University; dead or inactive societies and a lack of student community mean that the disconnect between students is huge. The general atmosphere is cold and I just hate it. It's worth noting that I do like my course, I'm comfortable with it and the University is renowned for students finding incredibly successful employment as a result of this course from the Uni.

So, onto my question; I cannot see for the life of me how I can settle in here, I can't make someone like the things I like and I don't want to feign interest in subjects. I'm sorry if that sounds pretentious or arrogant but I'm gonna be blunt. I was thinking of dropping out, taking a gap year to find some part time employment and then volunteer overseas for a few months. What are your thoughts on that and is it a tad rash or not?

what stuff do you like, OP? did you know that you can set up your own society in most unit?

same.

coming to university has been the worst decision of my life so far.
fresher's week has just been traumatising.

personally, I'm going to give it a term to see if things get any better. if they don't, hopefully when I drop out they wont be able to take any more money from me and I wont have paid them a few grand for just a week or two.
