I sit at the front row, the nearest sit from the door.

You'd think I wouldn't have to come across assigned-seating in college, and I haven't for almost 4 years, but this semester I have one class that mandates it... It's so dumb, as I sat in the front on the first day, but I don't want to stay in the front. What if the professor sees me yawning. 6 times. D'8

Big lecture halls that can contain 100+ students: I sit wherever there's a spot that suits my mood. If I want to pay attention, I sit in the front. If I wanna be a slacker and either work on another assignment or goof off on my tablet, I sit in the back.

Smaller classrooms: I sit in the middle and usually off-center. I like being able to sit against walls and look at the entire classroom. With our backs to the wall, the darkness would fall.

In High school when we had assigned seating I would usually be placed in the front corner away from all the other students by like the 3rd week. I'm rather distracting but by having two things to focus on at one time I retain the information better.
At Uni we have actual classrooms because our lectures are closer to like 30 students. But I tend to sit next to a wall so I can lean and face the front easier. The seats are horribly uncomfortable so I have to constantly move around which is annoying for other people in the class.
Always, always, always towards the back or back-left of the room, if at all possible. Easier to mess around here that way! :D
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ;D

I would always sit in the back as well because I was a bit shy on the first day and wanted to hide myself. It also made it much easier to text and do other things that might annoy the teacher haha.

When I was in High School, I always tend to sit in the centre to the left in all my classes. I'm starting TAFE this year and in the orientation class I sat in the exact same position I usually sit in classrooms.
I avoid the front because of the attention, I don't like to be too far back or else I might miss something. Not sure why I like the left though, just to be on the 'outskirts' of the classroom I guess...

I usually like to sit close to the front in small lecture theaters, maybe 4-7 rows back in HUGE lecture theaters and in classrooms then I'll pick one spot and stay there a lot of the time. it usually depends on how attached I feel to the class in question: some of my modules in college are terrible and I sit at the back to give off the "rebellious spirit but not so rebellious as to not show up" vibe ^^ Such a badass.

I've found that sitting towards the middle of back of the room is bad for me; I don't pay any attention to what I'm doing and watch the laptop people in front of me browse Facebook {XD}

We have assigned seating in my college. I sit next to the window and the benches keep rotating. One day on first bench, next on second, next on third........ Like that

I am always assigned at the front of the classroom, in front of everyone else. This goes for all classes now and previously because the teachers know that I am a special needs person. They often call on me to answer questions and now it has become normal of a routine that the teachers ask the others to answer.

I never realised this as a pattern before but looking back I almost always sat on the left hand side of the classroom, second row from the front. I wonder why that was...

I find myself often sitting to the sides of the classroom, but also near the middle. At the back is where everyone fools around on their laptops so it's distracting and I'm near-sighted, so it doesn't help to sit too far back XD Also, being too close to the front is intimidating for me because the teacher is right there staring at you O.O

I sit in the front in all of my classes. It helps me out a lot but that's just me.
I've got a few stories for those that love Star Wars and the Wings of Fire series:

In my form I sat right at the front with my two friends. That was only because we used to make our form tutor search random stuff for us.

In classes I was always placed at the back which was fine by me as I got awful hungry in class and I had to make arrangements for after school. :)

I really hate that I end up in the back all the time, I have very different type of nearsightedness, and I prefer sitting somewhere closer to the middle where I can hear and see everything.

There should be a signature here somewhere.
I wonder where it's gone.
