The units are great and a lot of students live in the building. Seems like the building needs 10x as much maintenance as anywhere else I’ve ever lived, and for a new building the elevators break a ton. Management has changed several times in the last 18 months

I live in 1 of the 12 3 story townhouses. I like having a separate entrance and not needing to take the elevator. For 3 people it’s perfect.

Maintenance at e2 is surprisingly good (esp compared to my experiences in nyc). Their team has quickly taken care of everything from broken dishwashers to new lights to fixed vents to better control central air or heat.

Facilities are great and, I can’t believe I’m saying this but, I would rate the experience as truly excellent.

Great apartment for incoming Kellogg students. Would recommend.

Apartment is great, but the management sucks - don't manage the package system well, elevators aren't maintained and so are always breaking, generally management doesn't seem to know what's going on or care to address concerns/issues.

It is very conveniently located and tons of Kellogg students live there, but not sure in hindsight if it's quite worth the price tag.

Live in a 3 bedroom townhome with two roommates. Great for hosting (but be prepared for your friends to ask you to host regularly). Very spacious and best unit price in E2. Certain parts feel cheaply done. Internet infrastructure is poorly designed - invest in a good router. Management is a bit slow off the mark - patience is necessary here. Other plus side of Townhomes is never having an elevator issue. Plus, so much of Kellogg lives in E2 that it creates its own community and makes group meetings very convenient.

The apartment is great. Heater/AC is VERY noisy though - fan only works at max speed, impossible to have a tranquil night of sleep without ear plugs. Management has serious issues with responding to e-mails or answering the phone/returning calls, but work great if you are physically present in their office. Maintenance is great - usually able to do small fixes on the same day with no extra charges. West tower has been with only one working elevator for several weeks now, while management is struggling to get the second one fixed - appears to be very serious and hard to fix given the time frame, so something to consider in the future. Had issues with reserved elevators upon moving in (broken elevator, mix-up with booking by management), but management reimbursed extra expenses with movers so all good. Also, it is very annoying that in the west tower you can't have guests come up on their own - you HAVE to go down to pick them up. There's a completely useless callbox below which will give them access to a lounge but not to the elevators. In addition, the "Fantastic pool" is only open for 3 months during the summer as it's outdoors, so it's quite useless. Gym is OK, but missing a few key equipment like a pulley (whoever bought them in the first place had probably never used a gym before).

E2 is recommended

E2 has been a pretty ok experience so far. Compared to other buildings (based on talking to other classmates)

On the plus side: the building is full of Kellogg students, basketball court/gym, modern appliances, in-apt laundry

On the neutral side: about a 20 min walk to the hub

On the negative side: seems like the elevators go down at least 2x a month, small rooms for money, v expensive compared to other options, heater is really loud for some reason

Overall, living in E2 is nice, but I will be considering cheaper options next year.

I love my apartment, but it's expensive. When I came for DAK a lot of students told me that I had to live in E2 and made it sound like it was one of 2 options and it was the best. It's great, but all of the options are great and I don't think it's worth the added expense. I would have looked at Centruum, The Reserve, and Optima Horizons more closely but no one had even mentioned those. There is no 1 place to live by any means, students live all over the place and you won't feel left out because you're not in a certain building. With that said, I like that E2 is one of the options closest to campus. The units themselves are the nicest out of all of the units.

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!
