Make sure to meet all the necessary deadlines to transfer your F1 visa to MILA.
Attend the orientation.
After receiving the new I-20 form from MILA, you should attend an orientation session at the school. This will help you familiarize yourself with the campus, administrative and academic departments, meet other students, and learn about any resources available to you as an international student.
