Answer by Edward N.
Moscow has better universities. However, the cost of living is very high like London or New York. Moscow is a difficult city to commute in and overall people are very pretentious and snobby.
St. Petersburg is a cultural capital. There are not as many universities to pick from, but it all depends on the major that you pick. It is a much better city in terms of people, cost of living, and intellectual aspects. I would definitely pick St. Petersburg. I spend lots of time in both cities, and for me personally St. Petersburg is closer to my liking and personality.
