Whether you like it or not, there was no getting around the fact that school was starting up again. Because of that, classes in all the "branches" of WSA were also starting up. While the school Miss Juliet ran wasn't an official branch yet, it was well on its way to that state. But that wasn't the only thing that was starting up, so to speak.

Miles had just gotten home from his first week at school when he saw Phil talking to a white fox Animalian that he didn't recognize. After the fox left, Miles went up to him.
"Who was that?" asked Miles, still a little nervous around foxes.
"It's one of the COOs that's just converted." replied Phil, much to Miles' confusion. On seeing that, Phil continued. "When Forbes did an article on how being an Animalian did so much for Joanne's mental and physical health (though they clearly exaggerated some points), there are now a number of COOs and CEOs coming to Animalia for conversion."
"... oh, jeez," said Miles, which was really all that he could say to that. While Animalians had better health and "physicality" (in some ways) than humans, mental health was more difficult to cure, which was why Doctor Jones was expanding his clinic, yet again.
"While Animalia is not turning them away outright," confirmed Phil, "they are going to need to work on their mental health more than the physical health."

Meanwhile, Miss Fabina was taking a break since classes at WSA had started again. While the newest "bimbos" were, comparatively, smarter after their conversion, they were still dumber, overall, than other Animalians. Fortunately, WSA now had enough room for them to begin school this year, so now they were someone else's problem.
Now, she could focus on a new thing she had in mind. Upon seeing Lexia's coverage of "Chest and Booty", she knew what should be done about it. Getting her phone, she scrolled down the list of her old friends searching for that one girl who would make a fine manager and Animalian.

Of course, not all learning is done online, especially college classes, and especially during the pandemic years. Because of this, both the BARA and ROSE houses were doing their own online college classes. While this did take up most of their time, they did have enough time otherwise to focus on other things, and not just partying.
"So, how goes the egg watch, you two?" A new Horse Animalian "sister" asked Sappho and Susan.
"They're still newly laid," said Sappho, matter-of-factly, "They won't really be showing any real changes for a week at least."
"Thank goodness for modern MRI technology." said Susan, semi-seriously.

What was probably the most popular, in a matter of speaking, was the Quasi-Raccoon Cuties' coverage of the Heiya Island branch of WSA (or as it was known on the internet, Samurai Prep). Part of what made it popular was what can best be described as "delusional fanboys/fangirls" who think that things in 'school anime' and manga carried over to real life, only for their expectations to fall hilariously flat. While undoubtedly funny, many of these were "remanded" to a "hard knocks" class to try to beat at least some sense into them.
The best example of this was actually covered by the Quasi-Raccoon Cuties. One "delusional fangirl" tried to show off a roundhouse kick to a young horse Animalian going to the same school. Unfortunately, her decision to kick an empty can off a guy's head ended in hilarious failure, which was dramatically, but thoughtfully, cut short right at the impact. Others responded to this part with various gifs and memes on how that had to hurt.
