Great building but definitely a little pricey

Lots of amenities and a great place to be for Kellogg students!

I'm in one of the townhouses, which is incredible. Every townhouse is Kellogg students and the floorplan gives everyone a lot of space, especially with the common area being on a separate floor. Townhouses are a big part of the Kellogg social scene, so be prepared to host frequent parties!

E2 in general is the closest to campus of the big properties and has the most Kellogg students in it, however is a bit overpriced given the quality of the amenities: Centrum and Albion are the same price or cheaper but are have nicer gyms, pools, and common areas.

So far I've loved living in E2. It's definitely expensive comparable to other similar units in the area, but it is worth it for the social life, especially given covid. Management is responsive and the building is always clean – I especially appreciate that a contractor will come and fix anything for you within 24 hours if you reporting it broken.

Overall good experience so far. My fiancee and I were looking to be near other Kellogg students, and E2 can certainly feel like a nearly exclusive Kellogg community. The pool and roof deck on the 4th floor are great hangout spots and it's nice being able to run into people you know since so many Kellogg people live here. We have one of the more affordable units for rent (~$2k/mo. with utilities excluding electric), so our view is not that great compared to other units but overall has been a great place to live. My fiancee and I live in a 1BR so be wary of the storage. We have a walk in closet and one storage closet so be wary of limited storage space if you're planning on doing this. I would recommend packing on the lighter side if you're planning on having 2 people live in a 1BR here.

Highly recommend living at E2 if you're looking for a convenient, popular building with lots of other Kellogg students. I appreciate living in a place where I have group meetings, and can always find someone to walk home with. It's also closer to the Hub than some of the other popular options like Centrum. That said, I'm paying for that convenience/dorm-like atmosphere: the building is overpriced and management is slow to respond to needs such as the elevators breaking down. For me, this tradeoff is well worth it and I plan to stay next year.

E2 has been a convenient place to live. There are a lot of Kellogg students that live here. I have countless section mates in my building and a lot of meet-ups happen at E2 because so many people live here. The apartments are generally decent and the noise from other apartments isn't bad. The biggest trade-off is the building management. Elevators go down more than they should, although they say they are fixing it. There is also random maintenance happening that makes some noise. Overall I think the convenience is worth it but that may change if other apartments get more popular. I also have a car and appreciate their covered parking, although I have to pay for it. That was my biggest factor between here and Centrum.

E2 is super overpriced. You get great amenities, but can only use these for a few months a year. Management is average at best, bad at worst. The building has had issues like leaks and flooding at times and things are not handled as professionally as you'd expect for how much we pay.

That said the social aspect has been amazing - most of my friends live in the building and my social scene revolves around the building. It feels like the Kellogg dorms. I'm glad I chose to live here.

If you’re looking to live at E2 but want some space and more privacy I can’t recommend the townhouses here enough. They’re super livable and great for hosting everything from small group dinners to pregames. They’re hard to snag but if you can find two other people to live with I’d go for it! E2 is a bit on the expensive side as compared to other apartment buildings but the convenience and ability to meet other people in the building especially during cold weather should not be underestimated.

It is great to live in E2 becuase so many other Kellogg students live here. There are also really nice amenities. However, there are quite a few downsides. The walls are pretty thin, so I can hear pretty much everything from my roommates everywhere in the apartment. Also, the elevators seem to break all the time. Finally, management is largely incompetent. They regularly make errors and can be difficult to deal with. It seems like we should get more considering how much we are paying in rent.
