HI all,

I am from Turkey, and living in USA currently. I got offer from HCT. The offer includes 28000 AED (included housing allowence, salary and vacation ticket) I was searching the life in Abu Dhabi and was surprised by the prices to rent an appartment. Is the offer good enough for me and my family (my wife and 2 small kids). They also offer me 16000 AED per annum per kid for kids education additionally. However, I see the school's tuition is also more than that. I am not sure if this is a good offer or not.

Do you have any experience with the Higher Colleges of Technology. I saw some website that critique HCT very badly.

I may work either Fujariah or Abu Dhabi. How is life in Fujariah.

I would appreciate any help from anybody before I make decision. Thanks for your help.

Hi there, Im curious about your offer of AED 28000, is it for the Business faculty? Do you have a Phd? Did you receive a preliminary offer before going through the application procedure and if so was it for the same amount!

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I live in Fujairah and I worked previously for HCT. Fujairah is much cheaper than Abu Dhabi. You can rent a 3 bedroom apartment for 45,000/year. Fujairah is very affordable. However, it is not a big city with big city activities. There is a slower pace to life here. HCT has been undergoing big changes, not necessarily for the best. The students have a very low level of English language ability. You may find teaching in HCT to be very frustrating.

That sounds quite reasonable for a 3-bed apartment. Would that be 100+ sq. metres or are they small rooms? Also, would you know the price of a 2-bed villa and do they come furnished or are they all unfurnished?
