Got accepted to DU, but debating about acceptances from other schools?

I got into DU which was a pleasant surprise although I also got an offer letter from the Colorado School of Mines. I am going for mechanical engineering and I know Mines is better but DU has the smaller liberal arts setting. In terms of finances, I'm still waiting to hear back from DU. I know Mines did not offer me anything.

If you’re planning on attaining an engineering degree why would DU even be a consideration when you’ve already gotten into Mines?

My son picked DU over Mines for computer science and has appreciated having the liberal arts experience. We are currently in Seoul where I came to see him after his study abroad semester here. He's very happy with his choice of DU
