Edit /etc/inittab and look for the line that sets the default runlevel:

  id:5:initdefault:

Change the runlevel from 5 to 3. Any subsequent reboot will put you into
runlevel 3. On Linux runlevel 3 differs from runlevel 5 only by not
running a graphical login.

You don't have reboot to go to runlevel 3. Just use the command

  telinit 3
