Exciting time for daughter, going round university with some emotional shock (9)
I believe the answer is:
traumatic
'with some emotional shock' is the definition.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
(Other definitions for traumatic that I've seen before include "Psychologically damaging" , "Deeply distressing" , "Emotionally shocking" , "Deeply disturbing" , "Psychologically painful" .)
