St. Petersburg State Technical University

When feeling home sick and wanting to be surrounded by other foreigners, the City Bar in the Kapella (opposite Palace Sq., accross the Moika). My favourite place for a quick but abundant food is the Tcheburietchnaia (called Tcheburietchnaia!) on Vassilievskyi Island (first right when coming out of the tube). On a more cultural side, do NOT miss the Yussupov Palace on the Moika, generally go for walks along the Moika and on your way stop in the cafe "The Idiot" for the happy hour (around 5:00) and their delicious homemade onion rings.

There was a great pool bar right near the university, called "Desyatka" that was a lot of fun to hang out in. Plus, there's a great lake not too far from the city, easily accessible by train, called Kavgolovo. Beautiful virgin forests, especially great to hike in during White Nights!

Club 69 for club; Vassilevskii Island for a place to hang-out.

It's very dangerous for students who don't look local to be out in the city alone at night. The city is not safe. But i had good local friends.
