UC Irvine. Chances are that UC Irvine was not your first-choice school. It's often said that those who go to UC Irvine are UCLA rejects -- which in my case, was very true. The other UC schools were too far from LA, so the closest thing to LA was UC Irvine. Now, being an out-of-state student, I have never really heard of UC Irvine to extent of the UCs. So naturally when I got into the college, I looked up the school on youtube and found various videos. Listed below are the four Youtubers that I watched prior to entering UC Irvine and who best represent what it's like to attend UC Irvine. (P.S. Go subscribe to them by clicking on the images.)

Kiet Nguyen

This guy makes UC Irvine seem more interesting than it actually is. Kiet is the best example for the saying “college is what you make out it.” If you want a great college experience, you have to be open to things. His video depicts activities from his everyday life. Kiet doesn’t focus much on the school itself but if you want to know what a UC Irvine student's experience is like, he’s the one to watch.

Niki Detrich

Niki is what I like to think of as a beauty vlogger. Her channel on Youtube has various topics integrated within. Niki does videos about beauty, fashion, travel, and of course, UC Irvine. Unlike Kiet, her videos are much more educational and informational regarding UC Irvine. She does sit-down video’s discussing various aspects about UC Irvine, such as sorority recruitment and being a business major.

Marissa Koo

Marissa is also a blogger who documents her life. She doesn’t vlog daily life, but specific events and experiences. Her vlogs are more telling of what UCI looks like and what the the freshman experience is like.

Tarra Meschi

Tarra is the newest Youtuber that I have discovered. Out of the four, her videos are the most academic and school-based. So if you're looking for information regarding UC Irvine and what the school is about, she is the best person to watch.
