Beacon would be destroyed, Vale would be in ruins, and thousands of lives would be lost. So in that scenario, they'd be throwing away their whole education for nothing.

Though it'd be even worse if they were there, as they should in your original scenario since they'd have come for the Vytal Festival. Though they wouldn't be as emotionally invested, and might possibly be killed since they were woefully unprepared for what was happening. At best they'd have joined the others at the temporary base in Vale, then returned to Vacuo, wondering what the heck they were fighting for. At worst, well we already know that, don't we?
