Made to suffer in wicked college (7)
I believe the answer is:
academe
'college' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'made to suffer in wicked' is the wordplay.
'to suffer' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'suffers' mean this).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'wicked' becomes 'ace' (ace can informally mean very good).
'made' is an anagram of 'adem'.
'adem' put within 'ace' is 'ACADEME'.
(Other definitions for academe that I've seen before include "university life" , "World of scholarship" , "The world of teaching" , "The world of scholars" , "place of learning" .)
