Is it ok to go home?

There’s nothing wrong with going home. But it’s possible that these people are questioning your reasons for doing so because they want you to stay there and hang out with them. Being homesick after leaving home for the first time is perfectly natural. Some people experience it far more than others, and some people don’t experience it at all. However, it’s something that passes in time. I’d strongly encourage you to try staying around campus though. There is so much happening on a typical college campus over the weekend, and it’s something you’ll miss out on if you go home every weekend. This weekend is the first official meeting of my university astronomy society. We’re meeting Saturday night at the campus observatory after sunset and checking out the sky until an as yet undetermined time. It’ll be a great time with some like-minded physics and astronomy majors, as well as anyone else with an interest in telescopes and astronomy. Obviously this may not be one of your own interests (and your campus may not have an observatory), but it’s only one example of the many things going on here over the weekend. There are clubs here that go on a different hike every weekend, clubs that meet for community service type projects, athletic clubs, and basically anything else you can think of. It’s worth being around for this kind of stuff.
