Don’t know if I should quit Uni

Hi, I have only just started Uni but really don’t know if it is right for me. I have literally only been here a few days but I can’t help feeling it’s not for me. Here are my reasons why:
1) Only going because I have no direction of what I want to do career wise (which I feel bad about because I know there are people really wanting to go but can’t)
2) I am really shy and quite and am not a good socialiser
3) I don drink alcohol at all
4) I miss being at home
5) My flat mates are all boys and I am a girl which kind of makes me feel uncomfortable even though they seem like nice enough people
7) am only doing the course I chose because i didn’t know what else to do

The only problem is I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t go to uni, I understand I could have a gap year and get a job but have no clue what I would do after as I have not found a passion yet and don’t think anything would change if I were to have a gap year.
There is also the fact that I would be thousands in debt for nothing.
Any help would be really appreciated, and I know It is only the first week and I will keep going a bit longer, but if I do end up not wanting to be there anymore, what shall I Do? Thank you so much! 😊

I think you should take time out to think about what you really want. You can always come back to uni if that is what you want. If you do it the other-way round you are going to limit you options a lot. I went back to uni 3 years after i finished my A levels. I wasn't ready when i was 18, I wasn't in a good place and didn't know what to do with my life.

In my 3 years I did some jobs to build my skills and confidence. I experienced a handful of different jobs. In that time I learnt about myself and gained more understanding of what i want and what course i wanted to study. I could have taken longer than that if i wanted to by doing an access course before re-applying. Don't feel like you have to go to uni because everyone else does, do it because it is the right thing for you.
