Unfortunately, from my experiences, that's something you'll have to get used to with BPP! I had a complete lack of information from them, from start to finish, and their admin is notoriously unreliable - most of my class finished the year with no student ID cards, and that was without a pandemic! As for the cohort, that's a shame, especially as the sponsored students generally seem to bond pretty well, but for the non-sponsored students, I'd say not to worry about missing out on the 'student life' as there isn't much of one amongst general students at BPP. Hope this doesn't sound *too* negative, it's not to put you off them - generally, I'd say the teaching and resources are great, and that's the most important thing IMO, just letting you know that you're not actually missing out on that much!
