Very social building with a lot of MBA students. I wanted to live alone so I chose to live in E2 because I knew I'd be able to easily see friends. However, the building is not well maintained (ex. elevators have been out of service several times). It's also incredibly overpriced -- I love my little studio apartment but it is more expensive than apartments that I lived in in NYC and London!

Nice units, good amenities, lots of students in the building. Expensive compared to other buildings in Evanston. Be prepared for slow elevators, bad management, and lots of false fire alarms. The required, included WiFi is slow at its best and goes down a lot.

New Features

Overall E2 is a great place to live - tons of other Kellogg students there so easy to get together and the places themselves are relatively nice. The only drawback is management is very poor at fixing problems promptly. The west tower elevator has broken down multiple times this year and I've had to walk up 11 flights of stairs while they fixed it. Also internet goes out a couple times a year.

Very expensive for what I'm getting and have had trouble getting responses from the management team.

Do not think the value received is worth the premium

The internet is trash - it frequently goes in and out. Otherwise, it's a pretty good building. Nice common area and closer to campus than other options

Living in an E2 Townhouse has the benefit of the E2 social scene and amenities without the pain point of the elevators. However, there is an ongoing confusion with US Postal Service and the Doormen about how to exactly list your mailing address. Additionally, the E2 Townhouse is on the ground floor which does not allow for a lot of privacy.
On the other hand, E2 Townhouse is the perfect place to host friends, as the entire first floor is public space and all bedrooms are on the second and third floors.

While E2 is a great building that is very social for Kellogg students, I think it's over-priced for the value you get and there are a lot more options cropping up that are worth considering

The E2 apartments are relatively nice (Centrum is nicer) but get a lower ranking because of uncooperative management. From implementing a policy that requires tenants wear wristbands to access the pool (a little unnecessary) to having repeated problems with the internet across the building (more annoying), I would recommend that folks look at other similarly or cheaper priced places (Centrum, Church Street Condos, Optima buildings, etc.) where the value is better.
