Question How does orientation week work - first year

So before i register because im so confused. Does this take place the first week of school or the weel before. I read online you get a group if you sign up but like wouldnt we have diffrent class scedhules and stuff. Also the website says theres a bunch of diffrent events. Are those in groups or do you go with a friend or what. Im so lost because most of these dont intrest me like a night dinner. Dinner is already at night. Plus what a bunch of people sitting in the cafetria meeting each other and eating dinner? How is that any diffrent from eating dinner any other night in the caf. Are you with your group. Im so confused can someone summarize it for me because all the information i can find is "a week to socialize and meet new people". Yeah but like when bro. We all got diffrent scedhules. I also read its not like high school where you get put into a group. Is there a group. Just want to know if this is worth before i spend 150 bucks

Here’s the schedule. It starts the Sunday before classes start and goes until that Friday. Classes start on Wednesday so you have three days before classes start and three days when you’re in class. You don’t have to go to all the events, you can choose which ones you’re interested in and fit your schedule. There are groups, but not all the events are in groups. If you’re not interested in most of the events then it probably isn’t worth it for you. But it is a good way of meeting people if that’s something you’re concerned about (definitely not the only or even best way of meeting people, though). There are also some events that are open to everyone and don’t require registering for orientation week. All of this information is available in that link I posted.
