This would probably feel a lot like living on a compound. Some people come and go, and then there's the core group that you know for the whole duration because they're there for the same reason you are. Visiting the different countries would be a nice payoff for enduring all that communal time. But after a while, I'd expect a lot of the experience to become really tiresome. As someone who has live/worked on a compound, and visited other compounds, I can say that there is a lot of atypical psychology in how people interact when they know everyone they meet is in passing.
