English girl attending university worried judge (8)
I believe the answer is:
evaluate
'judge' is the definition.
(evaluating is a kind of judging)
'english girl attending university worried' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'girl' becomes 'val' (short for Valerie**).
'attending' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'university' becomes 'u'.
'worried' becomes 'ate' (something worrying may eat someone up).
'e'+'val'+'u'+'ate'='EVALUATE'
(Other definitions for evaluate that I've seen before include "Reckon worth of" , "Judge the worth of something" , "Make an assessment of, determine worth" , "Make an assessment of, measure" , "'Assess, appraise (8)'" .)
