Networking Questions

Hi, I'm a second year undergraduate student at a European target university. I have started networking a couple of months ago with the usual (linkedin messages, emails, talking with the 2 persons that i know that work in finance). I have only reached out to people from my same university in EMEA, and i get around 1 answer every 50 messages. Is this normal?

Plus I wanted to ask if from a time-cost/benefit view is it worth trying to network with people from the USA, and should i try to message people from BB or boutiques? (i imagine that if I contact someone from a BB they can't do much to help with an internship because i have to apply in EMEA). Thank you in advance for the feedbacks
