Confuses it in survey with one of those places where The Don makes a living (10)

I believe the answer is:

university

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

'one of those places where the don makes a living' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'confuses it in survey' is the wordplay.
'confuses' indicates an anagram.
'it'+'in'+'survey'='itinsurvey'
'itinsurvey' with letters rearranged gives 'UNIVERSITY'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for university that I've seen before include "Cambridge?" , "High-level educational institution" , "Place of higher learning" , "Seat of learning developing" , "1's scene" .)
