Lecture Hall Seating And What It Says About You

By Jocelyn Davidson


Lecture halls are theater like tiered rooms used instruction and seminar. It can hold more people than a normal classroom, with 50 or more seats. It usually has either fixed seating or fixed tables with movable chairs, and are normally found in colleges and universities.

This is an ordinary scene in any lectures or seminars. The early person gets in, grabs the aisle seat, or the seats near the entrance, leaving the middle seats for the likes of you who comes in, well, exactly on time. Sometimes it can be trying to attend class just for this reason. But where you sit in a room choke full of people actually says a lot about you. We have checked our history of lecture hall seating and came up with this list on what it means for you.

Front row geniuses. If you like sitting just a spitting distance from the professor, then you are probably a pet for teachers. You want to make sure you hear everything your teacher says and does not want to be left behind on class discussions.

Second row slackers. Usually the safest seats in a lecture hall, that is, if you want to doze off once in a while. Front seat people will be too busy trying to catch the attention of the teacher, and the teacher will be too busy looking for people at the back. You are never within their sight.

If you are a normal student, not coming in too early nor too late, you are most likely at the center. You bravely clamber your way to the free seat amidst the stares and cuss of the people you pass. You are sure they would not remember you anyway.

The aisle people are those who are always on the aisle seat, left or right. It is like their privilege to sit there everyday. And they usually are the ones who come in early, so you will probably have to pass them on your way to the free seat. And they would not like it.

Exit jocks are the ones who seems to be always on an errand. They want to be on seats nearest the entrance. And they are always the first to go out. Sometimes even long before the final bell rings.

Back row bums. These are the ones who thought that class has just started, when they are already 30 minutes late. They arrive halfway through the lecture and usually dose off, or just do anything other than listen. These is where the boisterous laughter and shameless jibes to that wrong answer usually comes from. Beware.

Now you know where you sit in a lecture hall can say about your personality. And you already know something about those people already seated. So the next time you come in to a class half filled with people, just be sympathetic to that guy seated near the exit. Maybe he left something cooking at home.
