Daughter finds university students boring (4)
I believe the answer is:
dull
'boring' is the definition.
(I know that boring can be written as dull)
'daughter finds university students' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'finds' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation for university).
'students' becomes 'LL' (two abbreviations for learner).
'd'+'u'+'ll'='DULL'
(Other definitions for dull that I've seen before include "Lacking in liveliness or animation" , "Constable?" , "Thick" , "Lacklustre" , "Flat" .)
