Percentage is not a better way to present these NMS stats, it is just another way to do so. Whether it is better depends upon your interest in using these stats. For example, I want to know where the most NMS attend college/university. If you want percentages, than just do the work. The OP was interested in knowing where the most NMS attended school without a NMS based scholarship. If you want percentages, Carleton College is a good place to start. If the only conclusion that you can derive from stats showing where the most NMS attend is the size of the school, then I think that you're not trying very hard. For example, if I were a NMS, I would want to know where the most NMS attend school so that I could investigate the offerings academically, financially and opportunity wise. If I was interested in attending an LAC, then I would want to know both overall #s as well as percentages.
