Need help regarding what to do about course and making friends

I'm in a really bad spot. I hate my university its a university center, there's no social life, clubs, societies, events or anything at all. I have no friends.
I've emailed Newcastle University to ask if I would be able to attend clubs and societies there and they said no. I've looked for stuff around the city as well and I can't find anything that's new or interesting to me that I haven't already tried.
I'm hating it so much and I'm terrified about September. I'm going into my second year and everything relies on me being in uni so I can't drop out, my income (I'm autistic so can't cope with a job), my accommodation. I have no support, no friends, no family. I also can't change uni as I'm in the second year and won't have the student loan to cover going to a different uni either. I also don't have any A levels or equivalent due to the circumstances I ended up in uni. I'm also not learning anything or enjoying my course. I also recieved a very large amount of 1 on 1 support which I wouldn't be able to cope in uni without as I need help with rewriting parts of reports and dealing with group projects and having work in general checked before submission. I think I'd enjoy an art course more of some kind but I don't have any qualifications or any real skill either but I also don't know of I would.
I'm really really struggling mentally and being told I can't attend clubs and societies at that other uni has made me feel even worse. I struggle with anxiety and depression already anyway and this is making it sm harder, what do I do. I feel like I'm missing out on university and making friends and dating but there's nothing available at my uni. The lack of friends and any actual socialness is really affecting me too, I have really bad anxiety and ive found being around others makes it easier and helps deal with it and I'm also trans so having to navigate everything myself with no support is so hard too and I really really really miss spending time with people and having fun, its been so long. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I genuinely have no idea what to do. Thanks on advance!

Hi there,
Sorry if it's clear but what university are you actually at and where are you based?

Hi,
So sorry to hear that you have not been enjoying your first year at your current university. I would initially suggest you going to speak to your academic advisor/year tutor/lecturer (anyone related to your course), about your issues with the course. They could advise you being able to change courses, if your current one is unenjoyable.
I would also speak to your students union, or mental heath service, who could offer you more specific advice as to how to join societies, if there are any on offer, although it seems that there aren't?
Is there are anything you are specifically interested in, like a sports team? As you could have a look around locally for something, and can hopefully meet people with similar interests there?
You want to find somewhere that you are going to enjoy, as you will be studying for at least another 2 years, so definitely try and speak to someone who works at your university, as they will know more than me. Although I hope this advise has slightly helped?
Hope this all makes sense,
Katie (Lancaster University Student Ambassador)
