They caught the love bug in Lund

They went all the way from China to Lund seeking wisdom – but they also found love! In 2009 something magical happened in the queue for the International Housing Office. Some might call it destiny, but most would probably call it a lucky coincidence, that it was here Minchao Wu and Yuan Zhou met for the first time. “At first I thought that he was kind of nerdy,” says Yuan, but nevertheless this was the beginning of a true love story… Yuan came to Lund in order to study Asian Studies , while Minchao came to do a Master's degree in Sustainability Studies. Back in China, Minchao worked as a software engineer, but he wanted to deepen his knowledge of environmental studies, and chose Lund for its high ranking. Yuan, on the other hand, had missed the application deadline, but luckily Lund University still had places left, so she opted for that route. Interestingly, after their first meeting in the housing queue, Minchao and Yuan only ran into each other sporadically. In the spring of 2010, Yuan was invited to join a friend and some other Chinese students for a trip to Italy.
