Would anyone be able to tell me about the teaching conditions and living conditions at the RAK campus of the IAT?

I've read most other posts, but there are 5 separate campuses and from what I've read RAK is very different (living wise) than AD.

I've been offered a tenative 22k offer (13k salary, 9k living). Again, from what I've read it seems like a very good offer. Could some educate me if I'm wrong or confirm if I'm correct?

Also, how far would 9k/mo go towards living in RAK? Studio, 1 bedroom, 2... location?

Thanks ahead of time for any information.

I take it you mean Dh9,000 per month living expenses. Yes, it's quite good in that case. When I left RAK in 2007 you could get a large and decent apartment for something like Dh 30,000 per year (2500 monthly, though nobody pays monthly; it's all upfront yearly). Subtract that from your monthly cash income and you live on 19,500. Excellent. I'd advise not to give in to temptation and live in a big villa like most of the HCT people do.
