I feel for you. I know that homesickness can be acutely depressing and can really affect a person's outlook. The first thing you need to do is get out and get busy. There's a saying that if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got...and it's true. You need to vary your habits at this point and try some things you're not doing now.
Happiness is often a choice, and in your case, it's a choice to do some things that you're not doing now. I recommend that you go where people are, be congenial and outgoing, and let new friendships form. This takes time, and relationships don't happen overnight. But the more you get involved, the less you'll feel like a victim of your own feelings.
Do you attend church? How about workshops or classes for something you're interested in? Do you attend any political meetings? Make a project out of getting a paper and finding out what you can get involved with around the area.
Meanwhile, don't sit at home and feel bad...go to the mall, to the bookstore, or to a coffee shop, and just hang out. Weather permitting, how about a park? Are there hiking trails in your area? Don't sit at home with "nothing to do".
Recognize that if you feel lonely while you're there, that that's okay...it's okay to feel what you're feeling. Just accept it as a temporary reaction to your situation. But remember that seasons really do change, and you're not going to feel that way forever.
You've got to find your niche in your new community. Pick out a café that you like to go to, join a gym, find a church, make a point of being friendly to the clerk at the convenience store...be pro-active about this. Meanwhile, scan the paper for things going on in your community that you can participate in. It will get you out of your comfort zone, but it'll also change your outlook.
As for homesickness, letters, phone calls, e-mail, and cyber-chats are good ways to maintain a connection. But getting your house in order so you can do some things, have some people over, and interact with others is going to be your best bet.

Do things that take you 'out of yourself'. Read fiction, listen to the music that you love LOUDLY, write in your journal so that you can look back on this time and appreciate your friends when they are in your life again. Try to change your point of view on the situation from time to time: rather than thinking about how awful your situation is because you are not close to your friends, think of how LUCKY you are that you have friends to go back to. Use this time of loneliness to really appreciate those friends that you love so much.

call who ever you miss
talk to them
suround yourself with people who care
it's hard to be on your own or far away from home but it's part of growing up and getting older
