Skip university in pursuit of love (4)
I believe the answer is:
omit
'skip' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'university in pursuit of love' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'mit' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in pursuit of' says to put letters next to each other.
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'mit' after 'o' is 'OMIT'.
(Other definitions for omit that I've seen before include "Leave out or forget" , "Fail to mention" , "Leave out, do not include (4)" , "Drop" , "Don't include" .)
