I'm studying part-time at a college equivalent level and they have been all digital here for around five years. I think the darkrooms became extra studio space.
According to the lecturers the biggest downside is the loss of the contact sheet. With students shooting hundreds of frames a week the lecturers can only view what the students think is worth seeing and potentially interesting images may get left behind because the student can't see the value in them. With a couple of contact sheets they can see all of the work quite quickly. In every other respect digital makes life easier and the learning quicker, except of course for that whole Photoshop thing.
