It would be interesting to see the split: Out of 83 Nobel Laureates, how many gained their education in University of Columbia? How many were professors that moved to University of Columbia after receiving their education somewhere else?

For example: Horst Ludwig Störmer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_Ludwig_St%C3%B6rmer

German scientist, but point goes to University of Columbia

Also Arthur Ashkin (2018 Physics) only did his BS in Columbia. I guess everyone is counting that way, but this method of counting surely favours prestigeous, highly sought after, universities.

Also, the number of Laureates in sciences relates more to the funding of research rather than the quality of education. Any affiliation with a US institution gives you better access (in the short or long run) to research funding.
