Speaking from experience I feel for you. I actually got into my first choice of University, and chose to go to the local community turned state college to save money. I was BORED more BORED then I ever have been in my entire life. I was like some people on here and my arrogance and intelligence coming out of FIRST allowed me to cost through my AA degree. I also got a rude awakening upon transferring into an accelerated Master's Degree program (which I am still in), let me be the one to tell you, use these moments of being bored to read up on the classes you plan on heading into if you don't want to/can't do extracurriculars. This will help you in the long run.
I also feel your statement several alumni and friends have started pursuing engineering degrees and switched, but as you said statistics don't lie(which if you take a stats class you would know how wrong that statement is) the number of major switches in comparison to the population as a whole is shockingly less.
On another note:

Thank you for supplying me with some great questions that I used to be able to answer and will now be spending some time beating myself up for forgetting then being proud of myself once I remember
