Perhaps that's part of your problem?

At the school I'm going to (KTH) you always[0] take exactly two courses at a time. That makes scheduling group assignments a lot easier. You also tend to take most classes with the same people, so once you've found a decent group you can stick with them for most project courses.

[0]: Almost, you're allowed to take an extra course if you ask nicely and have kept up with coursework so far
