6d Equals look right in board game at university (4,5) PEER GROUP but I can't see anything relating to "board game", SO WHY?

[cashier]

Peer g-r-o up. Go is a boardgame

[dannyk13]

Peer(look) +r(right) onside go(Board game) + up(at university)

[chelle7272]

Board game - go

peer + r + go + up

[Mamyalynne]

Go is a game.

Peer G (R)O up

[chiaroscuro]

The board game is GO

[cracker222]

Thanks, but that raises another query for me - why is "at university" UP?

[dannyk13]

Recognised meaning of up in crosswords

[cracker222]

OK - any idea why? I've managed not to come across it before

[chiaroscuro]

That's why you can be 'sent down' :)

[chelle7272]

Standard in crosswords - you go 'up' to university

[dannyk13]

Suppose it is the opposite of sent down(expelled from university)

[Mamyalynne]

Up

British At or to a university, especially Oxford or Cambridge:
they were up at Cambridge about the same time.
