It is the opinion of someone I know who teaches first year students at a university in Education City that graduates from the Indian school are excellent students.

i cant help u with the accomodation but i can with skools coz ive been to both.

it depends how old ur daughter is - under 15 i wud recommend qatar international skool - its very diverse and wud be so easy to fit in and make friends instantly. But come to do her GCSE's and A-Levels then doha college is the way to go. the level of education and teaching is so much higher... not that they're not good in International skool but they are def higher and stronger in doha college.
