Hey there, I hope I'm not to late!
I know your pain. When I went to university, I first chose electrical engineering. After a semester, I decided there was no way in hell I was going to that for the rest of my life! So instead I went in industrial engineering. I did get through that diploma though, after four years of hard work. And during all that time, I experienced a lot of what you're going through. I hated the place, I didn't have many friends, the colors of the building were starting to get to me... Plus, I always felt out of place, like the things I studied were ok, but not THAT interesting. I think I may have gone through a burn-out or a small depression at some point, but I did the only thing I could do: exercise, go out with friend, and tough it out 'till it was over.
And then I graduated... I thought I would be able to go to work, have a life, travel, have fun... No.
The first job I got was linked to structural engineering. And I realized "this is what I want to do!" The solution: go back to university in civil engineering... As of today, I'm still studying.
You see, my point is (and yes, I do have one!) is that if I hadn't stuck with my first degree in industrial engineering, probably that my first job that wouldn't have led me to the civil engineering field, a field I like.
I can't really tell you what to do, but for my case, I am glad to have stayed and finished my first diploma. It was a couple of years of my life I hated and prefer to forget, but something good came out of it.
And also, you said you wanted to go into the biophysics/medical physics. A mechanical engineering degree is a great way to get there! I know that at my university, the way to go to in biomedical (graduate degree only) was with a mech. eng. degree. They've juste created a biomedical undergraduate degree recently (this year I think).
Anyway, don't worry, take a decision, and just remember that whatever you choose, you will have good opportunies that will araise from that decision.
