Please don't tell me that Noun is a word or group of words used as the name of a class of people, places, or things, or of a specific person, place, or thing because Name is also a word or group of words used as the name of a class of people, places, or things, or of a specific person, place, or thing or
Name is a word, term, or phrase by which somebody or something is known and distinguished from other people or things because Noun is also a word, term, or phrase by which somebody or something is known and distinguished from other people or things but Difference? Park is noun Park is also name or if Central Park is a name then Central Park is also noun. If a noun is a general term. Such as "dog", "house", and "man, then name is also a general term. Such as "dog", "house", and "man". Just some one please tell me The Difference!

I am considering attending Devry College but I don't know anyone who has has finished from there. It is so expensive!!! The hours are very convenient and I know that education is an investment but how do companies view a degree from Devry. Is a BA from there considered the same as from a traditional 4 yr college? Will I be considered for higher paying positions than with an associates? I just want to know if its worth it or will I have spent(and borrowed) all of that money and regret not going to a university. Has anyone out there attended Devry or know someone who has? Was it really life changing. Please give me some input on this(especially if you are in GA).

I took a university course a few years ago on Classical Mythology, and I became completely fascinated with the civilizations of Greece and Rome. If I wouldn't have been so close to finishing my Anthropology degree, I would have changed my major to Classical Studies. Ever since that time, I have wanted to study more about Greek and Roman civilizations, but the amount of available information is overwhelming and I don't know where to start. I am not really in a position at this point to return to school so I would like to do a self-study of Greek and Roman civilizations. Are there any Classics professors or classicists out there who can offer me some guidance. Also, I would like to teach myself to read Latin and Classic Greek. How difficult will this be and what are the best textbooks to use?
