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”

      Technically it should be “Have you attended, or are you attending, a college/university?”.

      Yes! You see it.

        Sorry dude, this is a case where “correct” grammar is less clear than just being slightly incorrect.
