yes, 7.8 mil / 50K students ~= 156 inodes.
but if this is an imap server, each student will only require a minimul amount of files.
With Maildir format each message is a unique file. If you were using Cyrus or UW IMAP this wouldn't stop you though.
And all that locking will bring performance down immensely.
That's why we converted away.
Worst cast for us...create another filesystem and up the inodes there as well and set users home directories accordingly.
