I'm in a very similar boat to yours and my personal opinion is that you should see how this all plays out over the coming months, to see if options open up down the road, I wouldn't go the loan route. You got peeps to socialize with here for the now, although I definitely know how lonely it is not having like-minded friends up close and personal.
