I sense their bar is low.

    I prefer “have/are you attended/ing a college/university? Yes/no.”

      That would work for strong readers, but all the slashes might confuse weaker readers. Actually, if I wrote the questionnaire, I would write out “college or university” instead of “college/university”.

        I wouldn’t actually prefer that, for the record. Just trying to make a joke about making it worse. If only there were more alternatives to add slashes, it might have been a more obvious joke. 😅

        College/university can be inclusive of those who have done / are doing both.

        Someone who has attended, or is attending, college and university would have to answer no to “college or university”
