Im looking into this train station, and this is all i could find on it, but it's in Russian! Станция расположена вблизи комплекса зданий МГУ на Воробьевых горах. Массивные пилоны станционного зала облицованы светлым мрамором. Путевые стены станции облицованы глазурованной керамической плиткой: верх - белого цвета, низ - черного. Пол выложен серым и розовым гранитом. Стены проходного коридора к выходу на проспект Вернадского облицованы красным мрамором, пол выложен серыми гранитными плитами.

It says below that the station is situated near the MGU (Moscow State University) in the Vorobjev mountains (area of Moscow). The walls of the stations are covered with marble. And there are some details about the floor, tiles, etc. It's facings the Vernadskogo Prospect.

I heard that russian metro stations are somewhat of a cultural landmark, and that ther are interesting things to do there. I hardly know any russian and don't have a russian dictionary at hand, and these are the only pieces of information i could find about the metro station, universitet. Therefore I wanted to get to know as much about it as possible so that i can explore a little, since i am arriving early.

The university building itself is amazing - it's huge and beautiful. You really should check out some travel guides on Moscow and read about the area. You won't find much information about this metro station.
