You have to make it into what you want. Nobody says you have to stay in your room 24/7. You say your roommate isn't around. Who says you can't be out and about too? I lived in dorms that were coed by wing as well. So you just walk to the girls dorms. Introduce yourself. Hang out. Go to sporting events. Join clubs.
I had the same roommate for 4 years. We were on the hall with all of the girl athletes, and neither of us play sports. We're certain that we were the last two girls in that year, and just got placed together. We kept our door open, said hi to the other girls and made friends somehow. We hung out together most often, but there were times she did her thing and I did mine.
You're the master of your domain. make college what you want it to be.
