When I typed in the words voting + college age people on google.com, one of the first sites that come up was a sociology website that spoke on the issue that most college aged adults from 18-24 do not vote. It was a question and answer section of the website. The girl was saying that many of the young people that she had interviewed said that politics was boring or that they weren't brought up in what you would consider a political household, or that they just didn't care.
She also said that as a politically-minded student, all of those excuses were difficult for her to understand. Finally, she asked if there were other, more subtle, sociological forces that may contribute to this lack of participation.
The person answering said that his best guess was that a lot of college age kids don't think that their vote matters. One of so many, how could it make a difference?
I agree with what both of these people had to say. Too many of our ancestors died so that we could the privilege to vote. If we don't vote it's like they died in vain. Remember, voting is a privilege, not a right.

I found an article about a college named Goshen College and how their students are active in getting their voices heard on the war. Some students organized a protest and marched with signs on the streets of Goshen, Indiana. There was one quote that I really liked in the article. It was quoted by a 22 year old Iraq war veteran named Liam Madden. He says that, " college-aged people are the forefront of social change." The reason why I liked this quote was because I believe that college-aged people can be the forefront of social change. They just need to take the initiative and get informed and involved. If only young people knew just how serious and important this issue is for everyone and how it directly is and will effect us and our children in the future, I think that more young people would be involved.
There are plenty of ways to get involved: protest, write to the officials, give money or volunteer for the candidates you think can help get us out of this mess, and most importantly, VOTE!
