1.When applying to a school for a NROTC scholarship with a cross-town affiliate what school do you attend classes?
You'll attend the school that you are enrolled. If your school does not have the Military Science classes that you are required to take, you'll go to the cross-town school for just those classes.

2. Which school will you earn your degree from?
The school that you applied to, were accepted at and at which the vast majority (other than Military Science related) classes are held.

3.What classes will you need to go to Cross-town for?
Only the Military Science classes that your school doesn't offer.

4.If the school offers (RN) is that the only choice or just a option ?
I don't understand this question. If you are majoring in Nursing (BSN) then you will take those classes at the school you are enrolled even if they are also offered at the cross-town ROTC school. Again, you only need to take the classes (ROTC related) at the cross-town school that are not offered at your school.

I hope I have understood your questions correctly. If not please ask again and I'm sure someone with more knowledge / experience will chime in to help.

I guess my question to #4 should have read. On the NROTC web site it has a RN by a school name does that mean you can only go that route.

Thanks again.

As I understand this designation it means:
RN - accepted Navy RN program (other majors may also be acceptable)
RN Only - the only major that the Navy will accept at the university is RN (BSN).

Hopefully if I'm incorrect someone else will post. I would contact the ROTC person at the school you wish to attend or the cross-town alternative to get an official response.

aglages - You are right.

From the BU NROTC website:

Can I be a member of NROTC Boston University while attending a local area Community College.

A: No.You must be a student at BU, BC or a nursing major at NEU to be part of the NROTC program. The MIT NROTC Unit has agreements with Harvard and Tufts. If you are at a community college, you can apply for the 2 Year NROTC Scholarship by February 15 of your sophomore year. You must also apply and get accepted to one of the above mentioned universities. But before you are enrolled in one of those five universities, you cannot participate in the NROTC program.

If you want to go to Northeastern University your ROTC options are Army, Air Force and Navy- Nurse.
