Good place to live.

Will be further from new building. Great location this year, pool and gym is nice to have

Pricy but great !

TL;DR: The cost of E2 does not really align with what you get.
Yes, the building is new, but there are frequent issues with the ID cards and elevators not working - way more than is reasonable for a building so new.
The gym is comically undersized and not a great substitute if you're counting on it to avoid paying a gym membership elsewhere. They close a lot of the shared spaces down arbitrarily at 10PM - there's really no reason to do so.
You have to rent out the theater and the "party room" (really just another shared space).
Parking is massively overpriced considering they have lots of spare spaces.
The floor areas of the apartments are smaller than in other buildings in Evanston.

All in all, you're paying for modern, new accommodations close to campus, but you're overpaying and in lots and lots of small ways it begins to feel like a rip-off.

E2 is one of the nicer upscale apartments. Management is not entirely flexible and is likely to raise prices but the fact that a ton of MBA students live here makes the apartments a great place to live at.

New building with nice staff and amenities. Basketball court is fun and pool is amazing during the summer. However...

Frequent internet issues/outages.
Hot tub closed early (same time as pool).
Annoying policies.
Questionable value (especially if you're not going to be there during the summer).

This apartment building is all new, has great amenities and a ton of Kellogg students. You can get a bigger apartment plus a car space for the price you pay here but overall quality will prob be lower. That said, there have been a lot of conflicts with the management. There were many WIFI issues, office room printing problems and shady payments that were unexpectedly transferred on to the renters.
Overall we enjoyed our time here - but if prices go up next year we will definitely consider moving.

Coming from NYC, E2 is a massive upgrade in terms of space and amenities (big windows, dishwasher, washer/dryer in unit). It's also a lot of fun having so many Kellogg classmates in close proximity. The pool, jacuzzi and grills in the summer were amazing. That said, the building is still ironing out some important issues (frequent internet and elevator outages) and I wish the gym was a bit bigger (to fit more than 3 people at one time). Overall, it's been great but recommend tempering expectations for the future.

The apartment is nice, amenities are good, and a lot of Kellogg lives there so it is convenient.
But:
- you have to do DirectTV, mine hasn't worked for three months, I'm still paying for it out of my rent and the management company they use for it is horrendous
- the elevators are out a few times per month.
- they don't explain how much worse the west tower is to live in - there is no front desk and packages are often left on the floor because delivery people don't know where to go. Crossing over to get your packages is time consuming and it's further from school
- they don't allow two year leases

In retrospect, i would have rented something closer to campus that doesn't have all of these problems.

Great building and excellent amenities. only complaints are that the only internet option is unreliable and slow, elevators are frequently out of service, and it takes too long to pick up packages at front desk due to insufficient staffing levels. It is also a bit loud in the summer given all the students so be ready for that. the rooms themselves are really nice and spacious, and s till giving this place an 8/10.
