Most universities in the real world only provide housing for the first year with exceptions of course. It's possible we haven't seen them (aside from the fact that they presently have no place in the story to warrant their design) because they may not live on campus. Dorms in the real world are reserved for first years with second, third, fourth and fifth year's expected to find their own housing.

I also have a feeling that third and fourth year's at Beacon may not interact much with first or second year's out of habit. What would be interesting though is seeing part of the second year course involve carrying out a mission alongside the first year's to give them experience in a safer environment (since they would be alongside four other more experienced fighters who are graded on whether or not they come back alive). Could be an interesting dynamic and potentially lead a few learning experiences for Team RWBY or Team JNPR. Perhaps someone tells Pyrrha to stop babysitting Jaune if she doesn't want to see his head on a spike later in life. Perhaps someone finally teaches Ruby how to actually snipe...
