Guide To Your Next Lecture Hall Seating

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.

The moment you come in, you might usually grab that nearest available seat. But this time, before easing yourself for the discourse, take a moment to look around you. You may not know it yet, but where you sit in this room full of people can give someone an idea about your personality. Here are some simple points you need to know to guide you to your next lecture hall seating.

Front row is a no no, unless you think you are nerdy enough to be there. Most self confessed geniuses grab the seats nearest to the professor. It is not only because they want to just learn. These people also want to be heard. The first serious question usually comes from the front seat.

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.

Middle earth or the middle center are for those who arrive just on time. They are a mix of the lot, but normally they are those who are afraid to sit at the back and be mistaken as someone who comes in late, so they brave the stares of the aisle people they have to climb over to get to the free seat. And they tend to stay where they are, afraid of getting the same stares on their way out.

An aisle seat, on the other hand, is a privilege. It is coveted because you do not have to climb over someone else, it also is easy to leave after a lecture. This privilege is normally for those who come in early to grab one, or for the popular kids, since they can make you surrender the one you reserved since six am.

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.

Yes, the back seat. Or the jungle. Or both. This is where you can laugh out loud and get away with it. Text or take phone calls. Do your other homework. It is just like you are not part of the class at all. This is where you sit if you think you are cool.

Go ahead and check the people on your class on the lecture hall tomorrow. See if they match the people on this list. Chances are, they will be. Well, if they are not, maybe your school is abnormal. Just make a list of your own.
