Congratulations on your admissions. Those are all top-8 ME schools. I agree with @eymgh. Unless one program fits your interests a lot more, go with the cheapest overall, including living costs.

For what it’s worth, we visited all three campuses with our 3 sons on their college tours. West Lafayette and Urbana-Champaign are typical Big Ten college towns. Although it is in the Bay area, which is great, Berkeley is a dump and very expensive.
