Animation is very good in Utah. UU is not too difficult to get into and it’s a good state for veterans. The top program in that State is BYU. You don’t have to be LDS to attend but it requires taking into account its culture (on the other hand, it’ll probably not be too hard after the military as far as discipline and dress codes go, just add no alcohol.)
