But we’re not here to talk about the big leagues. As a website for marketing students, we wanna share stories of student YouTubers who have achieved some level of success while in college.
If you’re a student reading this, hopefully, you’ll feel inspired to keep pushing on regardless of your endeavors.

Daryl Goh, otherwise known by his nickname Dargo, is a Singaporean computing student at the National University of Singapore (NUS). A big part of his content features life on campus as a computing student and the struggles that come with that. But the types of videos I love the most are those that are most introspective in nature.
With titles ‘My 5 regrets from freshman year’ and ‘You’re not falling behind’, these videos concurrently serve as reminders to his audience to not take life too seriously and enjoy the ride. You can just tell that he was a former intern at a local media production company. The quality of these videos is just amazing.
