Networking

Looking to make a geography shift to the US via a master's degree (2025 start, needing a 2026 summer). Could someone explain how networking in America works? What do I need to be asking/saying at coffee chats and how should I approach people for coffee chats? When should I be doing this if I'm looking for a 2026 summer? 

Thank you so much, any help is appreciated
