I hear it's only as good as you want to make it. Since it's pass/fail, it's up to you to decide how much work you want to do, or if you just want to straddle the line between the two.
Small classes are a plus, so lots of opportunity to get involved, but that also makes it interesting in terms of good profs / bad profs, real luck of the draw in this regard. Small classes are wonderful when you have a great teacher, but terrible when they suck... that's probably the biggest reason why you hear mixed things about it.
It does count as two years of education on the salary grid when you're done though, I know a couple teachers who did the 10 month program and it only counted as 1 for them.
