College dance, one round end of April (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

balliol

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'college' is the definition.
(Balliol College, Oxford)

'dance one round end of april' is the wordplay.
'dance' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance).
'one round' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'end of april' becomes 'loi' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'loi' written backwards gives 'iol'.
'ball'+'iol'='BALLIOL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for balliol that I've seen before include "Wycliffe and Jowett were both Masters of this Oxford college" , "C13 Oxford college" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
