Something similar happened to me the first semester of college. I had no friends and I was really struggling with the transition. I lost a lot of weight because I didn’t want to go to the cafeteria alone.
Things ended up improving for me and overall I had an amazing time in college. What worked for me was trying to stay open when meeting people. I took some risks and asked people to hang out 1:1 and in small groups. There were a lot of these hang outs with people that never turned into anything in the first year. It wasn’t until my second year I really made some good friends and it came through trial and error.
I also don’t have any of those interests. I went to a big school and one of my realizations is that it was on me to find my own place there. I tried a bunch of clubs before I found one or two that stuck but through those activities that DID stick I made my best friends.
Keep your head up, know that the transition will take time, and keep trying new things on the social front.
