In addition to what others here have said, I might suggest you find some activities that take up some of your days. Join some new clubs/activities, and really throw yourself into them. Do volunteer work where other students volunteer. Do more than just show up for this stuff - step up and do as much as you can for the organizations/clubs you like.

As others said, proximity helps form friendships, as do common interests. By joining activities you like, you’ll meet others who also like those same things. By doing more than just showing up for meetings, you’ll get sucked into the community of that organization, which can help form friendships. And you won’t be going home as often - you’ll be out and about, which alone can help.
