Give latest news at university, meeting girlfriend, perhaps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

update

'give latest news' is the definition.
(give up to date information)

'at university meeting girlfriend perhaps' is the wordplay.
'at university' becomes 'up' (slang term meaning at university).
'meeting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'girlfriend perhaps' becomes 'date' (date can mean someone you are dating).
'up'+'date'='UPDATE'

(Other definitions for update that I've seen before include "Revise to include latest developments" , "Correct - modernise" , "Later information" , "Modernise, modify" , "Renew" .)
