Hi,

I am a newly appointer ESL teacher with Al Khaleej and placed at the Imam ibn Mohammed Saud University within Riyadh.

Can anyone advise me as to what to expect at the working and living conditions.

My company provides for residence but at this stage I have no idea as to where.

Has anyone else worked for the above university or Al Khaleej, what was your experience?

Thanx in advance

Ok, one person had a very bad experience at KSU.

Anyone else? I'm specifically interested to know about the accommodation provided.

Employer-provided accommodation usually means you won't have any say about the living conditions or location. Anyway, for responses to your specific questions as well as useful info about TEFL in the Kingdom, check out the Saudi jobs discussion forum on Dave's ESL Cafe at forums.eslcafe.com/job/.
