I just wanted to share that I know how you feel. I moved to the Philly area before Christmas from DC and I moved back to the DC area in July because the loneliness got so bad, I had a nervous breakdown. Yes, other things contributed to it (I got very ill, I hated my new job, unresolved depression from my father's passing two years ago, etc). I tried to find Tri Sigmas nearby, but none ever responded. I hated life. I even contemplated suicide. My life fell apart.
Granted, I am the exception to the rule. But I do understand. I wish I knew what to say to comfort you. I know that at least with school, you do have a semi-built in social network.
I like the others' suggestions....I will keep you in my prayers. Loneliness hurts more than people realize...
