True. Since these characters are at an age where you go to college then Beacon should count as one. Other schools like Signal are like high school and train you for the big deal which is Beacon. Once you graduate from Beacon then you're a full hunter.

It wouldn't be a surprised if Beacon works as a college by giving their students the option of choosing their own classes and schedules but since they're working as a team then what happens if one of them wants to have a smaller schedule and takes longer to graduate? That person has to consider her/his team so it's either that way or the school has random schedules and Velvet just happened to get one that gave her a different lunch time than her teammates.
