Drop out of Masters and Apply Another One
I'm doing my masters in a field that I have always wanted. I did my undergraduate from a very reputational university but I had to go back to my hometown and started my master's there. And I always feel I dont belong there. Almost all of the professors are not supportive for my studies and the education quality is not well. So, I'm thinking dropping out of masters and apply another one in next year in the same field. Would it hurt my chances? Should I just bare with this university or apply another university with high reputation? Would it hurt my phd applications in future?

Have you explored the opportunity to transfer rather than drop out? (Not sure if this is possible?)
I’m assuming your academic year started in October and therefore you’ve sat at least a 1/4 of your masters already.
It’s up to you if you want to leave but maybe consider that dropping out will burn a year of your life as you’ll waste 3-4 months in this uni, drop out and wait for the next academic year’s admissions - bearing in mind that if you didn’t get a masters loan you wouldn’t be able to claim again apart from maybe the remaining amount from ~£11k
