I have and currently am enjoying my time at csulb. The fellow students are cool as are the faculty. It was a good experience for me, I went into the program thinking I would end up teaching physics at a high school or junior college but my time spent shifted that view up a bit to want to go on to a PhD.

One thing to keep in mind if you do decide to do a masters, if the option if available to you do a MS thesis rather than testing out. Whether you go on to a PhD or go to industry your thesis will look really good on your CV/Resume.

This was just some quick thoughts on the program while still in it. If anyone has specific questions post here or PM me and I'll try to answer them.
