I remember Oñati for its most fruitful community of scholars, friendly staff and dwellers of the town who all come together in a very peculiar way to produce the most wonderful environment of the place that eventually helps studying and transforms one's life entire experience! Life changing experience for me it was! Without the studies in Oñati, I would never have achieved anything close to what I am now. I'm sure there might be different stories of different graduates, but my story is so far a success: I do a new thing learnt in Oñati and I enjoy doing it, I enjoy being a sociologist of law.
