Ask me about...
Greek life, campus involvement and being an out-of-state student!
Hey y'all, my name is Zizi Oji, and I am a big fan of everything Gamecock! After my undergraduate degree, I plan to get my master's and then attend medical school to become an OB&GYN. I love the USC community because of all the different ways it has allowed me to become involved in the Columbia community, even as an out-of-state student.
