I am from Sri Lanka. I am considering to accept an offer with a University in the Nasiriya region. Would like to know about the life in general, safety for foreigners, cost of living, monthly expenses for food, housing, electricity and water etc. for a family of two. If anyone could comment on the level of healthcare facilities, appreciated.

It is a very safe place to live in. Most of Iraq is safe. But its very very boring with absolutely nothing to do except sit in cafes and bad restaurants and smoke. Cost of living is low. Quality is low.

You should have no problems at all. If the offer is good, go for it and good luck.
