Thanking everyone in advance

This is not always the case. In my day at my alma mater, all freshmen arrived on campus roughly two weeks before the first day of the fall semester. During that two-week period, freshmen went through rush (it was called rush back then), chose their dorms, and then went through academic orientation and registered for their first-semester courses.
No extra fees were assessed except for the cost of any meals you got in the dining halls during those two weeks, but any freshman could grab a meal at any fraternity house (freshmen males as rushees, freshman females as eye candy for said rushees) - and the co-ed independent living groups held rush events on the same scale as the all-male fraternities, the difference being that freshmen of both sexes were treated as rushees. As someone put it to me when I was a freshman, "If you have to pay for any meals this week, you're doing something wrong."
