I was unable to find a direct quote from Ellen G. White stating that people moving out of the cities in the last days will temporarily live at some of our schools to learn certain practical skills. However, Ellen White does write extensively about the importance of establishing schools outside of cities, where students and young people can learn practical skills such as agriculture, building, and other useful trades. She emphasizes that these schools should provide training in practical lines to prepare students for missionary work and self-sufficiency. For example, she writes: - "In establishing our schools out of the cities, we shall give the students an opportunity to train the muscles to work as well as the brain to think. Students should be taught how to plant, how to gather the harvest, how to build, how to become acceptable missionary workers in practical lines." (Counsels to Teachers, Parents, and Students, p. 309) - "We shall find it necessary to establish our schools out of, and away from, the cities, and yet not so far away that they cannot be in touch with them, to do them good, to let light shine amid the moral darkness." (Life Sketches, p. 352.1) - "The students are in our schools for a special training to become acquainted with all lines of work that should they go out as missionaries they could be self-reliant and able, through their educated ability, to furnish themselves with necessary conveniences and facilities." (Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 6, p. 208.2) While these statements strongly support the idea of schools as centers for practical training outside the cities, I did not find a specific statement about people moving out of the cities in the last days and temporarily living at schools for this purpose. If you have a more specific phrase or wording from the quote, I can search again to try to locate it. Otherwise, the above references are the closest matches in Ellen White's writings.
