I'm in Massachusetts and find many milk snakes every season. They vary quite a bit in color and pattern from individual to individual.
If you are concerned about it being harmed by the students, just move it to a nearby rock wall, wood pile etc. Milksnakes are fairly secretive, most people never see them even though they're common. This is the time of year they may briefly expose themselves in a search for a mate or nesting site. In a couple of more weeks, the average causual observer will never see one.
If you want to keep it, be aware of the difficulties as mentioned above. They are not ideal captives for the inexperienced.
