Vow one's kept in university, finding love (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idolise

'love' is the definition.
(I know that idolise is a more specific form of adore)

'vow one's kept in university' is the wordplay.
'vow' becomes 'I do' (I do - vow said at weddings).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'kept in' indicates putting letters inside.
'university' becomes 'lse' (London School of Economics).
'i' put into 'lse' is 'lise'.
'ido'+'lise'='IDOLISE'

'finding' is the link.

(Other definitions for idolise that I've seen before include "Pay excessive attention to" , "Revere (someone) greatly or excessively" , "Worship to extremes" , "Hero-worship, revere" , "Revere, love greatly" .)
