Does your institution use overseas recruiters to find students for your program? If so, who pays for the recruiter's services? The student? the program? Both?

As a lifelong devotee of bratwurst, I have never been too curious about how it is made. However, pulling back the curtain is sometimes necessary to gain further understanding.
