“The most important thing I learned at Dallas College is you may not always get what you wish for, but you always get what you work hard for. No matter where you're from, you are capable of success, which can mean something different for everyone. I definitely recommend Dallas College programs to other students for its affordability, quality of education and variety of classes.” Read Michelle Reyes's story.
