E2 has everything you could need as a Kellogg student. Modern apartments, great amenities, and all your classmates in one building!

It's been worth it to me for the social experience and convenience, but it's absolutely overpriced.

Overall great place to live. The front desk and maintenance staff are very responsive and competent. The building management and leasing staff are less competent so the process of signing the lease and moving in was more complicated than it should have been, but things have been smooth since then. While it is one of the closest apartment buildings to the hub and it is relatively close to everything in downtown Evanston, it is not "super close" to any of the main downtown bars/restaurants/grocery stores (compared to some of the other popular apartment buildings).

Overall E2 is pricey but you get what you pay for. People gather at E2 frequently for both classwork and social events so it's great to live right there where the action is and I suspect it will be even more convenient once the weather gets cold. I also order a ton of stuff online so having the package center open 24 hours is clutch. I live in the East Tower and I get a sense that it is preferable over West for buzzing in visitors and getting packages. E2 is also one of the northern most apartment buildings to the hub other than optima horizons. I liked the optimas but didn't want to lock myself into a 2-year lease.

I love living at E2. It is close to campus, modern amenities, and it truly feels like home. It is also very close to the whole Kellogg community.

Apartment is very nice! Building management is a bit unorganized / sends way too many emails, but responsive to maintenance calls. Wish the west tower had a doorman - this is a disadvantage. Also it's overpriced which stinks!

My favorite thing about living in E2 is that most of my neighbors are my classmates at Kellogg. The management (particularly the leasing office) is not organized or responsive.

E2 is a good building with nice amenities. The advantage is primarily the proximity to such a large percentage of Kellogg students. It is managed incredibly poorly and as a result there have been some unnecessary headaches. For a luxury building with such a high price tag, the management/concierge is unwilling to do anything above the bare minimum to support accepting large packages/groceries, issues with utilities, buzzing in guests, etc. which makes the higher rent hard to justify.

Living in a studio in E2 is great because I have my own space but am still surrounded by Kellogg students. Having a doorman makes package delivery very easy. The gym and pool are fantastic. The only downside is that you need to go downstairs to pick up any guests you have because you need a key to get into lobby and to use the elevators.

Would recommend, very social, lots of people live here. Basketball court is a plus and pool is a place to be during summer
