The beginning of the first episode took place during summer vacation, possibly toward the end of summer. So, for the summer vacation, Ruby might have traveled to the city with Yang. I mean, how much is there to do on Patch? All we've seen of Patch is that it's a relatively small island and has a forest, so maybe the city is a more fun place to be during the summer.

Anyway, the reason I think the first part of the episode took place during summer vacation is because Ruby said:

"And then I'm going to apply to Beacon! You see, my sister's starting there this year, [...]"

Yang hadn't started at Beacon yet. "My sister's starting there this year" means she's about ot start attending that upcoming year. Not next year, but this year. The best explanation for why she said it that way was that the first part of the first episode takes place during summer vacation, possibly toward the end of summer, and we got a small time skip between Ozpin accepting Ruby into Beacon and the first day of school.
