At my son’s college, freshmen move in at least one week before classes begin during which time they have dorm meetings/activities and are offered a large selection of First Year Experience activities on and off campus. And activities range from Habitat for Humanity project, wilderness experience, sports, comedy improv, college newspaper, music groups and athletics. By the time classes started he knew everone on his floor and about 20 others who were in his wilderness outing group.

I think upperclass move in day was the saturday before classes which seems like ample time. Our son is in an off campus apartment with 8 friends and he went back 9 days early.
