If your school has a Theatre dept. they probably also have a Music dept. I would suggest that you take some classes in the music dept. to get a feel for what being a Voice major entails. My freshman year of college I was in a similar situation as you (knowing I didn’t really want to stay at the school I was attending) and took straight music classes thinking of switching to Voice since I had been accepted into the program sort of randomly. Though I did enjoy the classes, when I finished them I knew I didn’t want to be a full-on voice major. I’m not saying that as a warning AT ALL that being a voice major isn’t for you (how would I know that? haha) – I’m just saying that by taking a few classes you’ll get a better idea as to what to expect.

Also, since you ARE enrolled as a theatre major, take the opportunity to get some training, even if it’s not in as intense setting as you’d like. Since you’re in a BA program, you can always major in theatre with a minor or a double major and then go to an intensive 2-year program after you graduate or train during vacation at summer intensive programs.

PM me with your email/screen name/something. I practically have a degree in being confused about college, and I might be able to help you out a little bit.
