I was just offered a job at ASU and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them. I've read some reviews from 2008, but can't find anything more recent. I am used to living in out-of-the-way places, so that doesn't bother me, but I'd like more information on the working conditions at the school.

Not a terrible place, but they work you a bit much. CoL in
Mongolia is high, though.

I haven't worked there, but I know people who have. They pay more than most schools, you work a lot, but you also get normal teacher vacations (summer, winter), and I think you get paid vacations, too.

They're kind of far from the city center and public transport in UB isn't very good, so you'll have to take taxis a lot if you want to do anything besides work (not that there's a whole lot to do in UB). They're a pretty expensive school, so you'll be teaching kids (up to high school age) from rich families.

As was mentioned before, the cost of living in Mongolia is high (now--it wasn't high a couple years ago), and it's increasing.
