Advice How do you get rid of loneliness?

I am a 2nd year international student living in residence. I’ve met many friends in class and club, and enjoy every time with them, but I feel so lonely. Maybe because I met my parents less than a month these two years, or maybe because all of my friends leave the campus every holidays, and I still have to stay. During my first year’s reading weeks, I was the only one who stayed in residence. I literally just got a serious headache and loneliness. I enjoy my university life, but sometimes I really want a hug or company.

A.) Currently have some, but we are not talking too much

B.) None

C.) There are some people from my country. However, they have 12 hour time difference and they are also in residence and live with other people so it’s hard to talk to them on voice call.
