Personal comments
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!
