I have an economics degree from that university. Before that I got a mechanical enginerring degree from a conventional university and must say that for me the Distance learning University totally sucked compared to the "real" university. Social life is IMHO very important for studying. At the converntional university we had a great group of people who helped and motivated each other. And we had a lot of parties and fun. Not so at the distance learning university, which was dull and boring. There was nobody who motivated you, nobody you could have a good time with. I think there was one meeting in person, which was quite horrible, and of course you do not make real friends within a week. On the other hand I heard from a friend, who is very introverted, that he liked studying at the distance learning university quite a lot. So it looks like it depends what kind of person you are.
