I’ve been looking at some interesting colleges in the Middle East like in Qatar. Apparently ISIS targets westerners there. How safe would it be to attend some place like Georgetown in Qatar?
How many westerners have been killed by terrorists in Doha? I haven’t heard of any.
I heard the community was racist towards foreigners though and ISIS was planning on bombing qatar during the world cup.
Generally speaking the Middle East is not very safe at the moment.
Are you A boy or a girl? Are you Muslim (which branch? / creed)? Have you lived abroad before?
My son just started school at the American University of Beirut. He is really enjoying it. My dad, a professor, has some former students in the city. These people are helping my son a lot. They told him that if he avoids certain areas of Beirut, he should be fine. Yes, I’m still nervous, but he wants to eventually do volunteer work long-term, helping Syrian refugees, so he feels this is what he needs to do.
