I sat in A (9A specifically) my freshman year and hated it. It wasn't the seats, but who I get stuck sitting around. There were some students around me, but most everyone around me were adults. (No offense to you old timers out there, but I don't think you'd have wanted to be sitting next to a bunch of people 20 years your senior when you were in college.
) I'd much, much rather be sitting in C in the big crowd of students.
