I want to attend Penn State or Drexel University for NROTC. Which one has the better ROTC program?

Are you sure that Drexel's coop program is compatible with ROTC? I have heard that Drexel's coop is normally 5 years. You should also be aware that "every" engineering school has a coop program. In any case, the best way of deciding would be to visit both campuses and visit both ROTC units. They are only a few hours apart by car, so they must both be within easy driving distance for you. Far better than to rely on anyone else's opinion.
Good luck.
Did you mean if I recieve a 4 year scholarship? Almost all cadets and mids choose to the 5 year co-op option. I'm not planning on studying engineering.

She want Nursing. In that case - choose your Nursing school first, over the ROTC battalion. ROTC Cadets in Nursing have different training programs in the summer than regular ROTC cadets. AROTC Nurses still go to LDAC. If you don't like being really physical - Army stuff (shooting, land nav etc) then choose Navy.
I would not recommend PSU for a Nursing major. There are much better programs and if you want Coop (yes, it makes sense in Nursing with clinicals) then Drexel is a fantastic choice.
As mentioned Pitt and Villanova also have great Nursing and ROTC programs.
Go visit Drexel and the AROTC battalion. They are together with Penn which is next door.
Also - you don't have to do ROTC. Navy has a program for Nursing majors in college. Sign up your last two years, sign a contract and get $$$$$. Then go to OCS for 8 weeks after graduation and you commission. It's a good deal. No shooting, crawling through the mud etc. You have to pass the PRT and medical - of course.
