Replying to Anyone thinking about deferring a semester?

Just got the official plan from my college last week for how to proceed in the fall. Seems like a pretty standard mix between online and in-person classes on campus until thanksgiving and then we head home and stay there for finals. Im headed into my junior year and with a lot of my friends deferring and a hefty set of rules and regulations about eating, parties, access to the gym etc. taking a semester off is becoming more appealing all the time. Could be a good opportunity to get a job somewhere cool/ live with some friends in a different part of the country and take all my classes online. Anyone else thinking along the same lines? Anything important I'm not considering?
