hello people,

 

 

 

i am a student who has got internship in qatar university, they are paying me 500 qar/week.

 

accommodation is free, provided by the university (employer) they say my estimated cost of living is 0. dont know how much that is true. if as they said i get free accommodation and food also and since am student i wont be spending anything else other than maybe the essentials required ( water, toiletries) and live quite frugally is say 2500 qar/month enough to live out there on what they are providing??

 

 

Can you kindly tell me the  cost to buy a new sim, Stationery costs and also I am interning at Qatar university, How is it?? and is it gender segregated or co ed college?

If they are providing food and accommodation, you may be able to manage within QR 2500 if you live frugally. A new sim will cost you QR 50 for the first time.
