Not Bad
McManus is not a bad place to live.
It is old and maybe not as good looking as rest of the new buildings.
But the study room facilities and shared internet connection with the college internet makes up for this.

Cheap, but no frills
There are certainly some conveniences that come from living on campus, but McManus is an older building that feels like dorm-living. Certainly not for everyone, but gets the job done.

Good for commute
Location is amazing. The building is old and really needs updating.

Excellent Value
I like the value I get because the apartments already come with all utilities/internet/gas/cleaning. I also like the study rooms downstairs which is invaluable in exam time for meeting with group members, and the print room when class schedules get crazy.

McManus
Excellent choice, especially for internationals - don't have to think about anything, almost plug and play. Just need your basics like pillows and towels (mattress provided).

McManus - Excellent if you can bare a few things
Although I previously heard negative reviews about McManus, I am completely satisfied with my choice. I have to admit that it is an old building, but apartments are very well refurbished. All the places I have visited in the surroundings have carpets on the floor. I am not a big fan of it, and McManus does have one (This is the only negative feedback I would to have).
The good points are:
- The large community of MBA students in McManus is perfect for meeting classmates and create relationships
- Study room, computer room and printers (for free) all connected to the university networks make it the perfect place to study, especially during winter (believe me...you won't want to go out during winter!)
- Very close to Jake and Whole Foods

Great place for a family
With rent prices in Evanston, McManus is a great option to families needing two bedrooms. We don't love the fact that it is furnished but for the price we enjoy it.

- great location (10 mins from Jake, 5 mins from all bars/restaurants/shops)
- basic and mediocre look&feel of apartment, old equipment
