WAY back in the day we had what was called "Pre-College" (orientation) which was two or three days as I recall. We took placement tests, tours, lectures on rules and dorm life and stuff like that.
My gut feeling is that there were a lot more rules then -- womens hours, not living off campus until age 21, etc., along with the normal conduct (academic and personal) issues. In Loco Parentis was not a wonderful thing for the college student of my era.
I think some parents might have been there -- mine weren't.
As for grade reports, isn't it against some privacy law or something to send parents report cards these days? It wasn't really an issue for us since both of ours did very well (3.96 and 4.0) in their college careers.
