Why do American alumni give so much money to the university they studied at? Especially considering the sky high tuition most paid already to that uni, it seems strange to me people willingly donate even more money to that institution. Is it a prestige thing?

I’m probably not the best to ask, as I’ve only donated small amounts to where I went to university. For me, it‘s mostly emotional, in that I have really good memories of both my undergrad and graduate universities. I’ve mostly chosen to do so when there’s a particular program/initiative that I care about raising funds.
