dt location super convenient; responsive maintenance team; spacious room; free laundry and utilities; access to study room and printing facilities, amazing value

If you went to school in India, McManus is a 100 times better than any hostel that you're used to. Convenience trumps everything else.

McManus is convenient because it is a dorm for Kellogg students only and many of your classmates live there. Also, there are meeting rooms, which are used for a lot of group meetings, and printers. During winter months, not walking out to meetings is nice.

However, the place is very very old with minimum maintenance. I had many problems. My wooden drawers in kitchen is so old that I do not feel comfortable putting plates in them. Some cabinets doors do not close so tape is used to hold them in place. The list can go on and on. Lastly, for a studio, I am paying over $1400 a month. That is a ridiculous price to charge while not maintaining the place to be in a good shape.

Absolutely love this apartment building!

Pros:
- HUGE apartment. Lots of space for hosting parties / study sessions
- Great management
- Super responsive maintenance
- My unit was renovated last year - all new appliances
- 17 min walk from the Hub
- Beautiful, tree-lined street on Hinman
- Super close to Whole Foods

Cons:
- some undergrads in the building
- very minor bug issues at the beginning of the quarter
- washer and dryer in the basement, but it's really not a big deal. Never have had to wait for a washer / dryer

Old building. Heating and cooling is terrible. Kitchens don’t even have ventilators or extractors. Washers and driers don’t work half the time. Study room equipment is obsolete and do not work. This building needs to be torn down.

Building and apartment have aged significantly since first construction and has not been kept up well. Most of the furniture appears to be at least 10-20 years old.

Certainly not the fanciest or most modern place, but it's super convenient and nice fellow Kellogg residents!

McManus is the most convenient option by far: it is close to campus, includes all bills and utilities in the price, there is a streamlined payment process through Kellogg's standard tuition payment portal, apartments are furnished, and there are printers and study rooms available within the building. However, the building is old and all of the positives do come at a trade-off! Some apartments have very little sunlight and the furniture in the units is old and sometimes stained. It's not a deal breaker, but just make sure you are comfortable with this too.

very convenient, especially for international students who have never stayed in US before, this is super helpful to settle down in MMS with almost everything is ready

Not the best facilities but very convenient
