I thought they might have started college, but just didn't finish.
BTW, I'm done with season 1 of The Conners, but haven't started season 2. So if anyone wants to refer to events up until then, that is fine.

Dan was born November 10, 1951, and Roseanne was born November 3, 1952, according to the Roseanne/The Conners Wiki page. No, they never went to college that is why it meant so much to them when Darlene went to college because they themselves never got to go.
Also, I just remembered in the Season 8 episode "Another Mouth to Shut Up" Roseanne begins recounting when the Conner Women got married. She states Becky was 17 when she got married, Roseanne was 18 and says "Finally, a Conner woman put it off till she was 19 years old." referring to Darlene.
Something else, it was stated that multiple times in the series that Dan and Roseanne's relationship progressed very quickly in High School so it would not be farfetched to say at some point in 1970, when she was 18 she became pregnant, dropped out of High School and got married to Dan. Sometime after she probably lost the baby and then 5 years later had Becky.
