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.

The seats upfront are always taken by the bright ones. Or maybe those who assume they are. They are those who likes to ask a lot of question and oftentimes debate with the professor. They are worth more than the class clown, because they always want to get the attention of the speaker. They are those who come in early and normally leaves last.

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.

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.

So if you attend a lecture, next time you get inside a lecture hall, look around and see for yourself. There may be other groups undiscovered, but these six exist. And before you grab that seat, think if that seat is really for you.
