First be aware that the word international is used liberally everywhere in the GCC. Are the students international? Sure, but not from all parts of the globe.
Messaid is not bad, it's an industrial town (chemical plants etc) it's about 30 - 40 minutes drive to Doha. I believe there is a bus service but I don't know anyone personally who uses the buses on a regular basis.
If your life style includes bars/clubs on the weekends, Messaid is not for you (and some would say Doha is not the place for you).
Not knowing your life style requirements or social needs, can't comment further except to say unless you have your own transport you might find it very confining.
On the upside, you're close to Sealine Resort, but if you want to use resort facilities that costs money, otherwise you may be dodging 4WDs on more public areas.
