City university in Zambia originally having money to burn? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zurich

'city' is the definition.
(Zurich is an example)

'university in zambia originally having money to burn?' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'u'.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'originally' says to take the initial letters.
'having money to burn?' becomes 'rich'.
The initial letter of 'zambia' is 'z'.
'z'+'rich'='zrich'
'u' placed into 'zrich' is 'ZURICH'.

(Other definitions for zurich that I've seen before include "Swiss city noted for gnomes" , "Largest Swiss city" , "Swiss financial centre" , "Swiss banking centre" , "See 8" .)
