What is your opinion on a Masters in Finance program? Can anyone share their experiences?

Contemplating on pursuing a masters in finance right after my undergrad. Seems like a good experience and a way to solidify my foundation in finance and investments. Anyone have any good/bad experiences?

As long as you have a good UG GPA from a target/ semi target school, I think you can solidify your knowledge later on, in an MBA. I would get a job right now rather than an MSF, unless you are planning on attending MIT MFin for something more quantitatively rigorous than your UG program
