Your description is too vague - the bike could have been stolen from a wider area than you are assuming. I would give at least a detail or two so that people can know if their stolen bike is even the ballpark. (I had a bike stolen about 3 weeks ago less than a mile away.)
Yeah, I think you can give basic details. Everyone who has ever had a bike stolen is probably hoping you found theirs.
I understand you don't want it to go to the wrong person. For sure.
Agree-- I know the intent is not to be cruel, but there are so many bike theft victims out there that it's providing false hope to a lot of people not to provide a general description (e.g. style of bike, or the color, brand name if it;s a common one).
Also, most owners (unfortunately) don't posess any record of their serial number, even if they've come by a bike legitimately.

Black fixed gear size 52 is a much better description!
I can understand why you would assume a student stole it given the location but it could just as well be anyone else who happens by that area. It could also have been one of those "temporary" thefts where someone took it for a so-called joyride and then just left it.
I do hope it gets reunited with its owner.
