Abstract | This study is an analysis of student reflective advice written to future semester abroad students based upon their personal experience in a semester study abroad program. In December 2018, 36 Mexican students wrote individual letters during an end-of-term session in which they were asked to reflect upon their semester abroad experience in San Antonio, Texas. The students composed letters to provide advice for the next student cohort based on what they had learned and what they wished someone had told them to help make the most of their experience. The student advice letters were a follow-on to a beginning of the semester activity in which each student wrote a letter to themselves about their expectations of the semester abroad experience. The objective of the letter writing exercise was to encourage reflective thinking about what they had learned and for the students to evaluate how much they changed as a result of the semester abroad study. The December letters were analyzed for types of advice and categorized by topic area for this report using qualitative methodology. The aims of this analysis were to evaluate peer advice to future students in their semester abroad experience, to gain insight into the student's experience, and to evaluate how student advice can be used to improve future student experiences.
