Invoking a virtual member in the Entity Framework constructor

Question

I know that there are so many questions about calling a virtual member in the constructor (before marking this as a duplicate). And I already understood why the problem arises.

There are two more unanswered questions for me:

Entity Framework 6 wants me to set foreign collection keys to virtual ones. But I want to initialize them somewhere to prevent NullReferenceExceptions.

Regarding the case study:

public class Student
{
    public Student() { }

    public int StudentId { get; set; }
    public string StudentName { get; set; }

    public virtual Standard Standard { get; set; }
}

public class Standard
{
    public Standard()
    {
        Students = new List<Student>();
    }
    public int StandardId { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }

    public virtual ICollection<Student> Students { get; set; }
}

They definitely want me to initialize virtual ICollection<Student>in the constructor. What I understood from another Q & As about this topic is only about inheritance. When my class is not inherited, this is normal (not good, but OK).

    public virtual ICollection<Student> Students { get; set; };
