Not that much time has passed, and the characters all look the same. I don't know why you think 3 years has passed for these guys.
5 seasons and not one year having passed is just a crawl imo.

But then so my point remains: These characters already have gone through fighting the most dangerous villains. They shouldn't be spending their time encased in a cozy educational facility.
