Nevermind.
Another article. This time from Canada...

Allan Lingwood did what any single guy might do and scoped the room for women on his first day of MBA school. As one of only 44 daytime students enrolled at University of Victoria’s Peter B. Gustavson School of Business, he noticed Katherine Cochrane right away.
“A scan was done. I created a short list,” says Allan, a 33-year-old business strategy consultant, inside the couple’s Victoria home as he recalled that day in August of 2007.
“I saw him do the scan,” says Katherine Lingwood, 29, his wife of almost four years, a regional contracts manager at B.C. Transit. “He looked at me and this big smile broke across his face and I was, like, ‘I gotta look away.’ ”
As MBA students at UVic’s business school, known for its intimate class sizes, the couple was doing a 17-month program, studying at least 60 hours a week and basically breathing, eating and sleeping MBA. They became friends within a month thanks to networking events, projects and social outings. Later, they worked on their thesis together focusing on their shared passion for international business development overseas.

No B-school necessarily wants to be known as a matchmaker, but few can control the affairs of the heart.
That’s why budding romances don’t surprise Pat Elemans, assistant dean at UVic’s business school and former MBA director. Every year at least one relationship develops, says Ms. Elemans, and she often tells students: “These are the people you are going to be sweating with and working with and socializing with. For some of you, your life partner is in this room.”
