Though there are many universities in the city, actually all of them used to be institutes and during a couple of years ( since the beginning of 1990's) they have been renamed as "universities" and "academies".
Leningrad State University/St. Petersburg State University always was a university, so when people say "university" they mean LSU/SPSU. |
