I don’t think there’s anything wrong with going along on the trip to help scope out the area, but attending the admission events would be a bit odd (not something I’ve ever seen in my experience, in science that is). To me, this would be like a parent coming along to orientation at the kid’s first job. Help them get situated in the new town, but don’t show up on the first day of work with 'em. ;-)
