Welcome! I had similar struggles in college (I've been out for 5 years now). It was like a game to find time/place to binge because it has to be in private--use this to your advantage, and try not to allow yourself the time/space. When I moved out on my own and got my own place, my binging got less intense, but the quantity was higher because I could spread it out throughout the evening. Yikes!
I also had social struggles, I didn't like my friends very much, they didn't like to go out, and I was too shy to go out and meet new friends. It was really hard.
I don't have any advice for you specifically. But I know from experiance that this time will pass. My senior year, I actually wound up making new friends by living in a different part of campus. And I made new friends by going abroad my junior year--is that an option for you? In any case, it's a great thing to do, expand your horizons, etc.
Maybe try to find an OA meeting nearby? I've never been to one, but I wonder if it might help you meet new people while working on your eating struggles.
Also, check out the binge-free challenge thread! Every week, we keep each other accoutable to healthy eating habits. It's great to know there's a place I can go where everyone has the same goal as me, and they can support me and I can support them.
Good luck!
