Excitedly go to uni, getting tips for graduates' expenses (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outgoings

'expenses' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'excitedly go to uni getting tips for graduates'' is the wordplay.
'excitedly' is an anagram indicator.
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'tips for' means to remove the middle letters (only the tips of the word remain).
'graduates' with its centre removed is 'gs'.
'go'+'to'+'uni'='gotouni'
'gotouni' anagrammed gives 'outgoin'.
'outgoin'+'gs'='OUTGOINGS'

(Other definitions for outgoings that I've seen before include "Expenses" , "Regular expenditure" , "expeditions" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
