I lived in France (we travelled around, quite a bit...and I stayed with three families) a few years back. I felt similar to how you're feeling- I missed my life back home a lot. Now that I look back on it, I wish I could have done more while I was there. Try new things, and try to find new friends! Just like in the US, there will always be the idiots...but once you start to dig, you'll find the neat people who are just your type.
Try to think about how this will shape your future, and what a unique chance you are able to have. You will come out of this experience a new person- why make your memories negative ones?
