Just tell them thanks for the offer and you will let them know your decision before the deadline.

Hello I got admission to Mechanical Engineering PHD program from both VirginiaTech and UofDelaware. Both offered me with TA for the first year and RA thereafter. I am already in UD for 2 years for a MS program in biomechanics, so if I stay here, it would save me some trouble, and UD offers a little bit more money(2200 vs 1800 per month). I do like this town and have a lot of friends here, and all of them suggested me to stay in UD. But on the other hand, VT has a better ME department than UD. Considering that I will most likely go to industry and try to find a job after my PHD, so I think the question I want to know is that if I will have a better job opportunity if I go to VT. Any advice is welcome, thanks.
