Not so bright
I went to Cuyamaca in the mid-1990s and the place has radically changed physically. Back then the college had only one two-story building (the library); now the place is beginning to look like a pocket UCSD. Cuyamaca originally was a satellite campus of Grossmont College that focused on engineering and computer tech but now it is on the same level as Grossmont, functioning as a two-year liberal arts school. Like Grossmont it is a commuter school, and back in the 1990s there was nothing much around the campus but tract houses and chintzy stripmalls. The only major change is that there now a mall across from the college with a multiplex theater. I remember that if you didn't have a car and had to wait for pickup that you were stuck hanging around in the library or waiting by the bus-stop across from the "O" and "P" buildings (all of that has now been built over.) I get the feeling that the original single story classrooms that made up the campus are going to be torn down piecemeal and replaced with two-story buildings.I remember that the classes ranged from the somewhat challenging to the painfully easy; most of the tenured professors were ten years to retirement and a lot of the classes were taught by adjunct faculty (who shared a tiny office in "B" building that no longer exists.) Overall the school was there in the 1990s to prep people for SDSU and I think that still holds.

It's a small school but large enough to give you choices and grow. Great teachers, beautiful campus, excellent value... I now work in management consulting and make close to 100k a year.
