583: How Choosing the Right Seat Leads to Higher Grades in College Classes


Listen Later

Where your student sits in class matters more than most people think. Research shows that students who sit in the T-Zone—the front rows and down the center aisle—tend to outperform their peers.

In this mini-episode, we break down:

  • Why professors pay more attention to students in the T-Zone
  • How sitting in these seats encourages accountability and focus
  • The connection between seating, engagement, and long-term academic perks
  • Why this simple choice can lead to better grades, stronger relationships, and even better recommendations
  • College success starts day one. Don’t let your student fall behind. LAUNCH gives them the foundation they need to thrive from their very first day of class by sharing the strategies and skills they won’t learn at orientation.
