Front, Middle or Back row....? (seating arrangement in class)

Back in high school and elementary, I sit based on the alphabetical arrangement of the surnames. That makes me in the middle row since my last name starts with an N. When I reached college, for those professors that strictly follows the seating arrangement based on surnames, I seat at the far back because the class usually consist of a 100 students. Upon entering junior and senior years, I get to choose where I could sit and that is at the front row corner. In this area I feel like I don't catch much attention. My teachers would usually concentrate on looking at the people seating at the back and those in middle front.

I'm quite tall too so I used to sit in the middle row. This was because the teachers usually picked people at the back and I didn't want to be asked a question. If you sat at the front everyone would call you a teachers pet. To avoide these thing I usually chose my seat in the middle of the middle row :). Now I look back on it, I wish I could have been brave and sat at the front because I could have listened more.

hi lady, i never had a chance to seat at the back. honest! i know i have missed a lot of fun because of it. yet i also gained so much while in the front row. i was the smallest in the class during my study days. and my family name starts with letter b and when arranged alphabetically, i always end up in the front row. if i could go back in time? i would like to experience being at the back row. have a nice day. ann

hi there m always sit in front row from my school days.i loved to sit in the front row.now a days m in college m still sitting in front row, but when m attending boring 2 hrs lecture in college m running to the the last row for taking break from that period.

When I was in grade school and high school, I usually sit at the back because our teacher was the one who arranges our seat plan. In a way, I loved sitting at the back because I get to do things that I didn't want my teacher to see like playing games in my mobile phone, sending text messages to my friends and whatnot. I guess I didn't have problems sitting at the back of the class when it comes to understanding the lessons. I used to be a good student who studies at home so there's no dilemma there. When I got to college, things turned a new leaf - A MORE DIFFICULT ONE. The lessons went to a whole new level that is far beyond my brain's comprehension and memory range. So all my college life, I spent time in the front row and it really helped because aside from helping me to not do anything else (I was scared because my professor might see me), I was also able to sustain my attention span. Anyway, front row or back, I think it still depends on the student's attitude towards studying. :)

....its really cool.. ..but i always prefer to seat in the first row in my class ..coz i want attention of my teachers,,..
