Look at first person in conversation at university (5)
I believe the answer is:
eyeup
'look' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'at first person in conversation at university' is the wordplay.
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'first person' becomes 'I' (first-person pronoun).
'in conversation' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'at university' becomes 'up' (to 'come up' is to arrive for term, e.g. at Oxford).
'i' sounds like 'eye'.
'eye' next to 'up' is 'EYEUP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for eyeup that I've seen is " Appraise".)
