Everyone seems to use Goldstein other than Swat, actually. I never found it to be a problem.

Does the more advanced stuff actually get covered? Because I know we got farther in T/M than some schools do.

Again, you worry too much. I'm sure Caltech does something more advanced, too, and MIT teaches Jackson to undergrads. That doesn't mean that that's where most of your classmates will be; the ones who are will probably get to skip of some of the beginning graduate classes, but the classes certainly won't be geared toward them.
