Best YouTube Channels for College Students
As a college student, I find myself procrastinating more times than I expected. Either my mind is fried from all the studying or I need a break. Nonetheless, I end up on YouTube to get my mind off; not only to watch funny videos but also to educate myself.
Through my many procrastination sessions, I have found several channels that have helped me with my education, and acquire knowledge outside my own interests. Here is a list of some YouTube channels that may be helpful.
Academic:
1 - Crash Course
If you’re struggling with a class or a specific topic, Crash Course got you covered.
Their channel features several lessons on many subjects, such as: economics, philosophy, physics, astrology, politics, psychology, literature and biology.
For each topic, there’s an expert that teaches you what you need. And, they included tutorials as well to help you practice.
2 - Khan Academy
You probably know of this one. Khan Academy is one of the biggest educational resources on YouTube. They have one goal, and it’s to provide free education to everyone, at their own pace.
Their online tools consist of instructional videos and practice exercises. Though they cover many subjects, they’re mostly specialized with math and science courses (of all levels).
Without this channel, I would’ve failed calculus. It has definitely helped me with algebraic functions!
3 - Wize
If you didn't know, we have a Youtube channel! We post countless video lessons, practice problems and example questions straight from our Exam Prep courses.
As well, we post general advice videos that are useful for any college student. We are actively posting so make sure to check us out and subscribe to the channel if you'd like to see more content from us!
Resourceful
4 - TED
You probably know of this one. This non-profit organization aims to spread ideas and topics through different speakers at many events and conferences.
You might not learn a lesson but you’re gaining knowledge and perspective about global issues. It is pretty influential to our perceptions and raises awareness as well.
TED videos may or may not be relevant to class material, but they’re definitely aspiring and cultivating.
5 - Thomas Frank
If you’re looking to procrastinate less, look no further. Their videos provide us with tips on productivity. There is plenty of information to improve study habits.
You can relate to the issues being discussed, such as burnouts, anxiety, memorization and time management. All the kinds of struggles you may undergo in college or your personal life are being discussed, as well as the ways to cope with them.
Also, they provide tools and resources on productivity and motivation to maximize your learning experience!
6 - The Coding Train
This one may be very essential to every college student due to the fact that we now live in a digital world. We’re living in a generation where many people are turning into entrepreneurs or a tech-savvy from the comfort of their own homes.
The innovation of technology has made it so easy to be your own boss, but knowing how to use it is also necessary. The coding train provides you with lessons and tutorials on programming, coding, and processing, as well as the challenges linked with them.
We are very reliant on devices and software, knowing their digital literacy will help us manage information and discover more opportunities.
