Since I did my Master's at Pitt, there was a large graduation for everyone (Dan Marino spoke at it the year that I finished my Master's) that I didn't go to, and then a graduate school graduation that was smaller and I didn't go to that one either. Was not feeling it. My dad and I went to Paris to celebrate my graduation instead.
I don't think it sucked at all. I'm not one for ceremonial stuff, and only did my undergrad graduation because my parents were really excited about it. So much happened between when I graduated undergrad and when I finished my Master's that no one in my family really cared about the Master's anyway - they were just happy I finished it.
My cousin finished her Master's the same year and we had a "graduation" party with a cake in my hometown before I moved to Chicago.

This was the same for graduation at LSU Health Sciences Center. All of the MDs graduating wore their green hoods on stage, but those receiving PhDs were hooded on stage by their PIs.
