The US is a highly diverse country. Case in point, 35 % of MIT's student body is composed of foreigners. This means that one third of its thinking and culture are new. In stark contrast, only 5 % of students in European and Asian universities are foreign and most of those are from neighboring countries--a situation not conducive to creative research.
文化歧異度：美國是一個同質性低的國家，尤其 MIT 校園有 35 % 的外籍學生，代表引進了三分之一的新想法與文化；相較於歐洲與亞洲大學的外籍學生可能只有 5 %，而且還是來自鄰近國家，很難成為有創意的研究環境。
