I understand how you feel. I am an international student ( from Belgium, so sorry for the mistakes) and I left my parents and my family to go study in Scotland. I don't know many people here and the few people I know are not especially people I could really talk to. My favourite question is 'What the hell were you thinking about when you left everything behind to 'start over' ?'. So if you want to talk about feeling alone in a town you hardly know, I am there.
