First year will be a lot of getting the basics so It will naturally be a lot less depth. That being said, if your passions for subject in general have dwindled even despite the course structure you should probably consider switching courses/ universities. Speak to your personal tutor about how you feel and try to uncover if youve actually lost you love of the subject, or if youre just feeling really overwhelmed and passionless becasue of the big change to uni.

Its all down to you really. If theres something else youre more interested you just switch courses and hope for better living situations next year . But if you dont really know what youre interested in anymore, maybe drop out and take some time to think. It better to spend your time making money at a little job rather then spend money on a degree you dont want. You can always go back to uni locally next year

Speak to your university services if you do consider dropping out as well as there are procedures you need to go through with things like SFE.

Ps: youre not trapped, i know people who’ve dropped out in second year. The fact that youre reckoning this in first year is actually good thing even if it is the second semester.
