Freshmen can arrive at school a few days in advance.
It is best to 1-2 days in advance, because the freshmen are not familiar with the school environment now, so the school will arrange for the old students to pick up and drop off, register, collect daily necessities, arrange dormitory and so on. If it's too early, you go to school by yourself, and then you go to the school teacher to arrange your dormitory. So it is not recommended that you go to school in the morning.
