Networking

Hi I’m a first year student at a non target (taken for reasons non-academic) and was wondering how is best to begin networking from my position as I don’t know how people from even decent banking positions would react to me contacting them. I aim to move on to do a masters at a target university later down the line but was wondering what lower level (for lack of a better work, no disrespect meant) firms would you recommend to begin networking at.
