- I'm hard pressed to believe the four years of classes are non-stop, with no holidays in between at any moment. Where is she going to stay for the Summer break? Is she going to freeload forever at Yang and Ruby's? Does Beacon provide accommodation for students who can't go home for whatever reason? In my personal experience, those are special benefits universities might provide upon request if the student can justify their need. "My multimillionaire dad is angry and he cut off my allowance" isn't something most authorities will buy or at least give priority too.

- What about medical care? The CRWBY is from the USA, and to my understanding the USA is not particularly well known for understanding the concept of free healthcare. I'll give you everything else but these.

Right now, Team RWBY is in their second semester, and Ruby said it's fall/autumn. Normally, in the US, school begins in fall. It seems that the school year began at the start of the year, so they've already had summer break. I actually think they had begun summer break at the end of Volume 1, considering the fact that Blake was gone for almost 2 whole days after leaving in the middle of the night.

I believe that Beacon functions similarly to a boarding school, and the students can head home during vacation if they want, kind of like in Harry Potter.

As for medical care, who's to say that Beacon doesn't have doctors? Whenever a student gets hurt in a training accident, it would be easier and quicker to take them to an on-site doctor rather than having to put them in an airship and take them to the city. And yes, the city is an airship-trip away. JNPR had to get on an airship to get to the city in Breach.
