Hi all,
Thanks for the responses. I probably should have been clearer that the 'rumour' was from the person negotiating the housing that had been told to ask for a two bedroom unit for our family of four. I'm currently trying to push back as all other schools in the region offer three bedrooms for families of four and there is no cost to the family. I think I might succeed but it was useful hearing from others around the world as well.

Hi there,

I am currently based in Saudi Arabia. My school housed us in accommodation where we were given three bedrooms. Next year the school is moving to a different site so we will be moving too. There has been talk that families with two children might now only get two bedrooms. I have a daughter who will be 10 next school year and a son who will be nine and feel they are getting a little old to share. My question is what other schools around the world offer for families in terms of number of bedrooms, particularly if the kids are two different genders. This is in the situation when housing is provided by the school.
