Are you making any effort to meet people by talking with others in class and maybe going for coffee together, seeking out organizations that interest you and joining them, volunteering to tutor, or maybe offer to assist at the international office to help other new students who are coming onto campus? Is there a club related to your major that you can join?
Some schools definitely have a friendlier atmosphere than others, so if you are really trying and it just isn't working, then you have to decide if you can focus on your studies and get comfortable with time alone and just deal with it. Otherwise another option is to consider transferring to another school.
Good luck! Hopefully it'll get easier as you settle in a little more. Can you plan an adventure during break to give yourself something to look forward to?

Look in the telephone book and see if your country has a community centre or "club" in the area that you are living in. You will be around people sharing your culture and interests. You will make many new friends. You might even realize that some of these people are your age and attend your university.

Spend more time at studies.
You will get used to it, its part of growing up. Even the USA residents are lonely when they go off to school. Youre not alone on this problem.

well you are not alone.. esp if you live on the West Coast or So Cal.. people here are really unfriendly, esp in Los Angeles. I think its good if you try to find other international students, or communities of people that are the same ethnicity as yourself.... if you are in so cal, dont plan on sticking around here too long. no one knows each other... and i've lived here my whole life.!

I'm not sure which school you are attending. However, I have found that smaller schools are generally more friendly.
In a larger school: I found that joining a couple of clubs that you are interested in, is where you will meet new friends!!
