Student Experience: Lesly Garcia

“The best part of the Dallas College experience is the massive amount of help you can get from teachers, staff and advising. One of the most important things Dallas College taught me is that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.

“The Real Estate program guided me through internships so that I could learn how the field actually works. To be honest, it was super helpful because once I finished my course, I knew the next step. Real-life work as a Realtor consists of learning every day and providing clients with value." Lesly Garcia earned her Real Estate certificate and Associate of Applied Science degree in Real Estate at North Lake.
