Youngster parking at university (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pup

'youngster' is the definition.
(a pup is a young dog)

'parking at university' is the wordplay.
'parking' becomes 'p' (abbreviation on road signs).
'at university' becomes 'up' ('up' can mean studying at university).
'p'+'up'='PUP'

(Other definitions for pup that I've seen before include "Produce litter" , "Canine young" , "Small palindromic dog" , "Young seal" , "Youngster" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
