Advice

14 years ago
Hi All,

My fiance and I are interviewing for jobs in Kuwait, hoping to relocate there late this summer.

I'm hoping someone can give us some advice about the location of the schools where we are interviewing and the housing that is provided by the employers. Since we won't need two apartments (we'll be married by the time we move) we are planning to live in one apartment and collecting the housing allowance from the other employer.

So the apartments provided by the employers are in 1) Hawally and 2) Mangaf. The schools we are applying at are 1) Box Hill College Kuwait and 2) American Creativity Academy.

Since both schools provide transportation from the apartments to the school one of us would be able to utilize that, however the other would have to arrange private transportation. Any suggestions about whether it would be better to live in Mangaf or Hawally? Either because of location or distance from housing to school?

In other words, if you were in our position what would you do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Jennie
