By that logic, why were Team ABRN off somewhere or Team FNKI? FNKI could be there for Pyrrha since she is a Sanctum alumni and FNKI could be present for Penny, potentially. But again, why were none of the Vacuo students there, and more to the point, seen at all later on.

The argument could be made that they don't have rocket lockers since they're not from Beacon and thus don't have their weapons, but then how did team ABRN, FNKI, or SSSN get their weapons? Hell, Ruby uses Sun's scroll to call Crescent Rose, so I don't believe that very much.

Cardin was seen fighting in the city alongside Qrow and Glynda, so there were students in the city. It probably wouldn't have been hard to place a few Vacuo students around somewhere.
