Visa F1 reapplication questions

@thomasnguyen As long as the university reports progress in line with requirements in your SEVIS records, you won’t be facing any issues.

Why will you need to renew your F-1 visa after your first year in college? F-1 visa are normally being issued for the expected duration of undergraduate studies and your visa therefore should be valid for re-entering the US throughout this time period? Please clarify.
