Dear Jonny, you may not have the choice to have an accomodation allowance rather than the actual housing. And usually accomodation allowances are below the level of the rent on a nice flat. You do realize that "classy flats" are in the neighborhood of 15-20,000 QR? I would hazard to say that school housing varies a great deal. Some nice, some (to my eye) horrifying. And I wouldn't blow off the marriage issue. Yes, there are those who "get away with it." But since the penalty is loss of jobs and deportation it seems to me to be a big risk. Do lots of homework before you make the big decision and good luck!
