Yes, although ROTC is in college. JROTC is in high school.
My dad did ROTC in college, at Northwestern.

Yes. ROTC is exclusively for students going to a school that isn't a military academy. Not all schools have it, so you might have to go to a neighboring college to do it.

after doing an ROTC program in college do you go to basic training? and is there a marine ROTC?

Yes you have to go through basic training, because after you graduate and if you recieve any money from them, you owe back a certain amount of years in the reserves. I don't think there is a direct USMC ROTC, you would have to go through Navy, but I still think there is one.

Acctually, there is a Marine Option NROTC program, but it is through NROTC on account of the Marine Corps being a department of the Navy. The only difference from what i can tell is that the Naval Folk have to take physics and calculus, while the Marine Option won't. Plus the Marine Option go to a 6 week bulldog course the summer after their junior year, then 6 month TBS after they graduate. I'm not 100% sure on the differences though.
