Was/am I being bullied at halls in university?

I'm 18 and I live in halls at uni. I made a good effort to get to know the 7 other people I live with at the start in September, but I didn't have anything in common with them at all and they never bothered with me.

For a long time, they would all hammer at my door all at once at night shouting my name and knocking and if I answered they didn't want anything, so I started to ignore them when they did that. They kept doing it night after night and it got louder when I ignored them. They did this nearly every night before February and since then they still do it sometimes but not as often. I'm on a course where I have to get up quite early a lot which they knew/know and they still did/do it. They play games in the small hours outside my door too.

The day after I came back from the Christmas holidays they told me to clean out my food cupboard because it was a bit dirty, which I said sorry for. I cleaned it out and took everything I wanted to keep like pans into my room to clean them in my bathroom sink because there was too much of their stuff in the kitchen sink to do anything with mine. I didn't eat anything which needed a pan for a few days (I was ill for a week and only ate toast and cereal in my room) and when I went to put my stuff back I discovered somebody had taken over my food cupboard without asking, leaving me with nothing. There was noone else in the kitchen at the time so I put my stuff back in my room. I now keep all my food in my room.

They have people over from other halls and outside of uni every day and every night non-stop (I hear the doorbell ring and them coming in) and whenever I have someone in my room they get annoyed and a few times they've said stuff like 'You bring back so many guys they could rape us or kill us or anything, so stop it', yet the people they bring in could do exactly the same to me yet I don't make a fuss about it. It's my room and I bring back whoever I want; I don't care what they say.

At the start I said things about what they were doing but they didn't care and I just gave up and got on with it. I don't speak to any of them out of choice and only say hi if I see them in the corridor. I cook when I get up early in the morning and put things in foil in my room to eat when I get back so I don't have to go in the kitchen when people are in there (sometimes when I don't have to get up early too, other times I don't bother and just east toast and cereal in my room for the dat). I know should say something and I want to but I'm scared things will get worse.

Am I overreacting or was/am I being bullied in halls? Thanks.
