And how frequently/diplomatically/enthusiastically the school reaches out for money.
 
With a degree from each school, I can't begin to express how much Colgate outclasses SU in this regard.
 
[A bit off-topic, but related to your point about connection to the school, Colgate launched a last-minute, one-day fundraising campaign on Friday [the final Colgate Day of 2013]. An anonymous donor announced that he/she would give $1 million to the school for financial aid if the school could find 1,300 donors (of any amount) on Friday. By mid-morning, the school announced that it had reached its goal but that two more alumni would each donate $1 million if the total of small donors reached 2,600. Another alumnus stepped up and offered another million if the total reached 3,500.
 
We hit that by the end of the day. $4 million from four people, plus 3,500+ other donations. I can't see that happening at SU. For starters, they don't solicit small-time donations or cultivate young donors.]
