My experience was very good. IISL staff was always helpful and supportive; everything was organized very well. I enjoyed the library as well as the Residencia. Oñati is a beautiful town with all the facilities one might need. It was great to meet and exchange with other visiting scholars and international Master students. I enjoyed my stay and found it very productive; I was able to focus and to advance my publication work. I hope to come back another time.
