Students who are intending to go to university will most likely make their first contact with either the staff at the above-mentioned facilities or a liaison officer. As their name implies, the student liaison officers (also school or education liaison officers, depending on the institution) act as go-betweens for students and the university. They will provide you will details on the specific university they work for. Most often, you will encounter these people during university recruitment days at your high school. They will be extolling the positive aspects of their institution. If you are having trouble deciding which university to attend, they may help you make up your mind.

In addition to travelling to high schools on behalf of their university, the liaison officers also organize tours of their university campus. Remember, the liaison officer is there to get your body into their institution so make sure you don’t fall prey to good salesmanship. Ask questions and be critical to ensure you make the right choice.
