<p>Friendships take some time to develop, so it is perfectly reasonable for you to only have acquaintances at this point. Choose two or three of those acquaintances, and make a point of having lunch/dinner/coffee with each of them at least once a week if not every day. This will allow your relationship to develop naturally over time.</p>
<p>Do any of your courses have study groups? If not, could you start one? Since you are taking graduate level courses, find out where the grad students in your department hang out. They may even have a coffee pot and fridge full of snacks hidden in their office.</p>
<p>You are adjusting to a whole new environment, and a lot of what you are experiencing comes under the heading of culture shock. You are likely to go through at least some of this again during your internship this summer. Do yourself a favor, and pick up a copy of “The Art of Crossing Cultures” by Craig Storti. In this book, he presents specific strategies for helping yourself adapt to new environments. And yes, moving from one university to another can be as disruptive as moving from one country to another. Read the book, try the techniques, see if they help.</p>
<p>You are half-way through this semester. Finish it. Go to your summer internship. While you are there, think through some of your life goals. If you decide to take a semester or year off it is OK. My advice would be to start that leave from formal education calmly in the fall, rather than in a panic right now.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>
