I believe the answer is:
university
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">brown or oxford</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that brown.edu is a Private university)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for university that I've seen before include "1's scene" , "Place of higher learning" , "Cambridge?" , "Academic establishment" , "Seat of learning developing" .)
