'quiet time' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'students around university' is the wordplay.
'students' becomes 'LL' (two abbreviations for learner).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'university' becomes 'ul' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'll' enclosing 'ul' is 'LULL'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lull that I've seen before include "Quell" , "Period of inactivity" , "Peaceful interlude" , "Short spell of calm" , "Rock to sleep" .)
