If he doesn't get his expected grades or changes his mind about which uni or course (it happens) then those weeks will be busy arranging new accomadation and may even have an earlier start so unless he has an unconditional place and is very sure of his choices then personally I wouldn't.
Suppose his grades were better than expected and he had a shot at an even better uni or course but needed an interview what would you do , for example ? You'd kick yourself at messing up his chances.
Oh remember Freshers is a week before the start of term too. He'd definitely miss out if he came back only for the start of term and arrived after everyone else starting.
