I should have saved you some effort by pointing out that the answer to my question is "it can't." If you can leave your LAN in less than 5ms, there's no way to save 40ms by replacing your NIC.
Definitely shoot the school IT staff an email and ask what their policy is. It's commonplace for large networks to be configured to drop the connection for a switch port that is receiving traffic from multiple devices.

Yeah, but in order to use it externally you have to do a port forward.
