Not gonna lie, would be kinda cool. Definitely not in school. There's a pretty big age difference between the two of them.

Winter is not much older than Weiss, as seen in the Schnee family portrait where she and Weiss were both children at the same time, so Winter is probably in her early 20s.

Meanwhile, Qrow is most likely at least 38 or 39, maybe older. He and Raven are twins, and students graduate Huntsman Academy when they are 21 years old. Yang was 17 in volumes 1-3, so if Raven gave birth to Yang while she was still 21, that would make Raven and Qrow about 38 years old in volumes 1-3.

Also, Winter attended Atlas Academy, and Qrow attended Beacon Academy. Winter attended another academy too, we know Qrow went to Beacon and Winter to Atlas's academy, though this doesn't mean he wasn't there... for all we know he could have been in the area on a mission and done missions with students as a huntsmen.
