You will not be given a new visa, but your student
status will be extended. You will have to "transfer
schools" according to the INS rules - it's a
standard procedure. Consult an intl. student
advisoir at a college you transfer to.

Not having a visa only matters in case you want to
travel abroad - in that case you'll have to apply for a
new one.

You are allowed to stay in the USA as long as you
are "in status" - attend a school and have a valid
I-20 form from it. After graduation you'll be able to
get one year of OPT working permit.
