It's also possible that some students don't need to be housed at Beacon. Anyone who lives in the City of Vale or near enough to Beacon probably doesn't have to have dorms. It's possible Ruby and Yang have their own reasons for getting dorm rooms at Vale (Yang pushed Ruby to make friends...) or maybe first years have to dorm together in order to exact team building.
