Kent State has Week Of Welcome which runs from the day the freshmen move in to the day before classes start (Saturday-Sunday). It basically involves a lot of seminars, tours, and meetings with your orientation instructor (we have a freshman orientation CLASS for first semester freshmen). There are special days set aside during spring semester for newly accepted freshmen to come up and do placement/scheduling, so they don't usually schedule during Week of Welcome.
The first day of the Week, students move in and get settled, and I believe parents are welcome that day to help them get settled in. The rest of the week is geared toward students, so the parents are supposed to get them settled in, and LEAVE.
That doesn't always happen nowadays. When I was a freshman, my parents came, helped me set up my room, and left. From what I hear, parents have now started getting rooms at the area motels/hotels and staying in the area for the whole week!
