[quote=Anonymous]this is not an expensive event for most colleges - they get a ton of free (ish) sophomores to cheer and move kids in, set up the various bands and glee groups around campus to sing in t shirts and shorts, let the parents eat in the dining halls for free, have a lemonade and cupcake reception with the parents and dorm head, hold a panel or two in the main lecture rooms about supporting kids from afar (and what not to do), receptions for first gen, affinity groups, international, etc. Get the mascot rolling round shaking hands and taking pictures, get the president rolling around shaking hands and taking pictures. Have an opening ceremony the next morning with some music,  couple speeches, and the first time signing the alma mater. Then last stop back at the dorm to drop off the last target run and goodbyes.

I've run events my whole career. Many every year with price tags into the millions. For colleges with the grounds and the cheap labor, this is a smart way to get information to customers/parents and make everyone feel good about their purchase/education. It's money well spent for Pharma, tech, and ... yes colleges.
