You just moved in?
Give it some time.
Get a part time job, save your money and get an off campus housing when you can....... but stay in school.

You've only been there one day, and it's a big adjustment to make. You haven't had time to get used to the routine of going to classes, going out, and hanging with your friends. If you are having problems with your roommate, remember that they don't have to be your friend...you just need to coexist. If you can't, then ask for a transfer. In the meantime, get to know some of the other people on your floor, since you may find a new roommate that way.
Since you just moved in, I'd also guess that you're stuck doing a bunch of boring orientation seminars over the next few days, which may contribute to your disappoinment. While they do provide some useful information, just grin and bear it (and bring a crossword puzzle or two). You will never have to follow such a strict itinerary after this first week or so.
I've already mentioned getting to know the people on your floor. This can be as simple as stopping by an open door on the way to the cafeteria and asking if they're hungry. You will also probably have a floor meeting at some point to meet your neighbors and see if anyone has the same interests. Also look out for a student organization fair where all the different campus groups set up tables. Chances are, at least one group will appeal to you whether it's a religious group, a sport group, or something related to your major, and you can meet some very good friends that way. If there isn't a fair, then you can probably find a list of registered student organizations online at your school's website.
Give it time! One day is too soon to give up on the college experience. You just need to find your niche.

Wow...you hate it after just one day??? If it's your dorm mate, can you ask for a transfer or something? If that's not the problem, then I'd say, you need to give it more than one day to decide you hate it! Go introduce yourself to people. Check out the library, and the local hang-outs. Make some acquaintances. That's the only way to discover where you fit into your new surroundings. If you're still really unhappy after a week or so, is there a counselor you could talk to? Good luck!
Oh, and no offense, but, you're an adult now, it's past time to stop using those annoying cyber abbreviations!

Give it alteast a month. Going away to school is a big adjustment, everyone has a hard time for the first few days. Just give it a little bit of time and you will start to enjoy yourself. If after some time, say a semester, you still hate it there than look into transfering to another college.

Go out and find fun! I felt awkward when I moved into a dorm at first, but there are so many freshmen that feel the same way you do....even if you have to knock door to door and just point blank say to them "I'm bored..want to go find some fun?" Just ask them! I will bet you get more yeses than nos and be known as the kool kid that got the party started from there on out!

You can't know that you hate something when you have only been there for like, 24 hours. Give it time! You didn't mention what specifically you "hate", but once school starts, you will make other friends and have outside activities. So just relax, chill with some people in your hall, and make the most of this downtime before classes kick in.

Give it some time, when I first started it was like that but after awhile I settled in & made friends & loved it. If this is your first time away from home that makes it even harder but after a bit you will change your mind. Believe me if you ask around many of your dorm mates probably are feeling the same way.
Good luck.

I felt the same way when I first moved in. I was bored (because classes hadn't started yet) and my roommate wasn't much fun, either. But as I started going to classes, I met lots of friends, changed roommates, and had a blast!

Take a deep breath and chill out. Give it time, you never know what you will find there. I was at school for about 6 months before I found a great group of friends. Keep on kicking it. You never know...
