Germany
Nights out are pretty cheap, cheerful and can be very late if so required. My personal favourite for studenty atmosphere is the Benderhof in Richard-Wagner-Strasse, they also serve a mean and affordable breakfast buffet on Saturdays and Sundays.
The Kulturzentrum Kammgarn is a community-sponsored centre of cultural activity and hosts regular pop and jazz concerts, and they'll probably have an internationally-focused programme for the World Cup. It's also very reasonable.
The Glockencafe is a classic student hangout with a very decent kitchen, try the flammkuchen, pizzas or humungous salads.
