Well, as a "youngster" of DL ( 
), the only drawback serious enough to have been a potential dealbreaker for me was the lack of interaction with your professors. Sitting in a lecture for a few hours (as long as it was on a topic that interested me), didn't really sound that bad to me. If I could have taken 60 credit hrs of CLEPs and then transferred to a B&M school, I would have done it in a heartbeat. But since that wasn't an option, I opted for missing out on lecture time on stuff that did interest me in exchange for escaping from the lectures that didn't!!! I get to spend one of my post-CLEP years at a community college, though, so I will get some classroom experience
But yeah, that was just me. Most people are super excited to skip all the lectures entirely.
