What does it mean if I don't have a seat assignment?

What does it mean if I don't have a seat assignment? It just means that your seats aren't assigned yet. The seatmap doesn't show all available seats because not all seats are assignable in advance. You will get seats at check-in or at the gate.

Does classroom seating matter?

Why does my seat assignment say name called at gate?

If your airplane ticket says your seat will be assigned “at gate”, it means that you will not be assigned a seat until you arrive at the airport and check in for your flight.

A previous study by Becker et al. demonstrated that students who sit near the front and center of a classroom get better grades and like the instructor better than students who sit in the back or at the sides.

Emphatically, no. You will likely get assigned a seat during check-in (though you should still skip it if the airline tries to tack on a fee) or, at the very least, at the gate. Again: You don't have to select a seat in order to get a seat. You just might get stuck with a suboptimal one if you choose to skip it.
