    "Attendance at a regular school-that is, an elementary school, a junior or senior high school, or a college or university.\n\nNote: Respondents are asked whether they were currently enrolled in a regular school, including day or night school in any type of public, parochial, or other private school. Regular schooling is that which may advance a person toward a high school diploma or a college, university, or professional degree. Other schooling, including trade schools, on-the-job training, and courses that do not require one’s physical presence in school, such as correspondence courses or other courses of independent study, is included only if the credits granted count toward promotion in regular schools.",
    "Enrollment refers to being registered or listed as a student in an educational program leading to a high school diploma or college degree. This may be a public school or college, a private school or college, or home school.\n\nIn some surveys, the Census Bureau also asks about school \"attendance,\" which is treated as equivalent to enrollment."
