Doha as a whole is the same.. jus few places are little more crowded than others. The life style is such that one might not make too many friends in the neighbourhood. But the admission at schools is very straight fwd. However, having said that schools tend to hesitate to enroll students in the middle of the semester. I do kno a few ppl in different schools. if you could giv me more info abt the type of school and other details, i could be of help to you...
