Female in college lacking good name (7)
I believe the answer is:
colleen
'female' is the definition.
(I know that colleen is a type of fille)
'college lacking good name' is the wordplay.
'lacking' is a deletion indicator.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'college' with 'g' removed is 'collee'.
'collee'+'n'='COLLEEN'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for colleen that I've seen before include "Irish lass" , "Gaelic girl with English spelling" , "Find Irish girl in cell one" , "Irish girl, English version" , "Young Irish woman" .)
