Should I stay at university?

I've just started the second term at uni in my first year studying English. I had an awful first term, I'm from Northern Ireland and I've come to uni in England, and I didn't realise how much moving away would effect me. I really don't like living in halls, they are noisy and I don't feel settled. I feel very suffocated here, it seems there are only students everywhere and I feel very cut off from the outside world. I also have ongoing mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, which have been intensified heightened.
I've almost left so many times, I just feel like everyday is so long and I have to drag myself through it, my favourite part of the day is going to sleep. I've always wanted to do English, as I want a career in areas like journalism, publishing or acting, but I find the course here extremely drab, I struggle to pay attention in lectures and I dread doing the reading as it doesn't interest me.
If I finish the academic year here, I can transfer to a uni closer to home which may help, but I don't know if I can last another week here never mind months. I've been told I just have to accept that I don't enjoy the work just to get the degree, but now I'm starting to doubt if not only I'm at the wrong uni but I'm doing the wrong course. I don't really have a plan if I drop out, I'll probably get a job and then maybe do some voluntary work, but I'm not sure.
Does anyone have any advice on what I should do??

You do what you like love. Though it begs the question, why are you at university if you can't make up your own mind and need our help to do so? Sounds like you're not strong enough, mentally that is.

You're at university to learn and find out who you are <3

To learn, yes. To find out who you are? Don't be ridiculous. Only a mug would get themselves into 40K worth of debt to find out who they are. No wonder you're a failed teacher with that attitude. Coming on here telling all these younguns to saddle themselves with an unpayable debt just to find out who they are. A job. That's what'll tell you what type of person you are in the end - and doesn't require all this debt.
