By Alexandra Brown on January 23, 2015

With the technology we have now, there are so many different platforms for college-age students seeking information concerning college life, advice on different subject matters related to our age group, and information about current events and new things.

We have apps like Twitter and Facebook, as well as websites such as Elite Daily, Huffington Post College, Upworthy, Buzzfeed, and Thought Catalog (and Uloop, of course!).

In addition to just reading college-related and young-adult related content, another way to gain insight is by watching vlogs, either on YouTube, Tumblr, or some other website.

These videos can offer insight into the same kinds of topics that are related to people our age, but can sometimes be more interesting to view and more attention-grabbing than having to sit and read something long and colorless.

Here are 7 popular, and fun to watch YouTube vlogs about college life that offer insight, advice, commentary and pretty much anything a college student cares about.

1. Orly Alexandra

Orly Alexandra has been filming vlogs since her high school days, and is now a college student at Chapman University.

She is well known in the YouTube world, and topics discussed in her vlogs include but are not limited to relationships, roommate drama, drinking and partying, hooking up, extracurricular activities, and homework struggles.

Any college student can relate to Orly’s vlogs, and her fast-paced style paired with good music makes for a truly entertaining vlog.

2. Ask Kristina (Kristina Vlogs)

Kristina offers a lot of the same style content as Orly Alexandra, but does so in a different format. She asks her viewers to comment questions on videos she makes, and then answers these questions in future vlogs.

She talks about topics relevant to college students as well, such as college advice in general, celebrity crushes, bartending, commentary on new technology, as well as personal commentary on pop culture, recently released music videos, and pretty much anything falling under these categories.

Ask Kristina is entertaining just because of the way her videos are set up, the content she discusses, and most of all, the fact that she engages her audience by requesting comments, which then later get answered in future vlogs. So check her out!
