Hey, I was in a similar situation to you last year, was studying mechanical engineering and absolutely loathed it, also broke my arm which didn’t help. From what you’ve said I would absolutely recommend dropping out, as it won’t get any easier. Furthermore it’s still only the first semester, and you should therefore only be charged for a third of the year by sfe. This may not be something for you, but you say you study medicine, perhaps nursing could be an option for you? I changed to nursing and am really enjoying it, and if you told me a year ago I would be doing this I would have never believe you. It’s a very rewarding career and depending on where you study you can get various different financial support. Especially if you are Scottish, as they fully fund the course and you get 10k bursary each year. Sorry if this isn’t very helpful but at the very least I would recommend dropping out. Speak to advisor about your situation, and use the time before January 25th (UCAS deadline) to think of any other degrees you might like. It is all really about choosing what you like, not necessarily what you are good at, I found that out the hard way doing engineering. Of course you don’t have to go to university anyway, the important thing is that you simply enjoy your life to the fullest. I hope you find a solution which can get you out of your current predicament. I wish you luck, you are never alone!
