Nice amenities with doorman, best part by far is the Kellogg community because the building is mostly students and many of the Kellogg events are held there. Building needs to allow Kellogg events because we make up the majority of the rent. A bit far from school

The leasing process was a nightmare.

Once you move in, I‎t is a good place.

The apartment itself has been great. The walls are near-sound proof, the amenities are modern, and there are tons of other Kellogg students. Management is largely incompetent, not following through on maintenance requests (or completing them poorly) and can't seem to hold to deadlines. The leasing process was confusing and management communication was poor, but once you don't have to deal with them much, it's one of the best options in Evanston.

E2 is a solid option for Kellogg students; would definitely not recommend it to other Evanston community members, as it is extremely social. Downsides: the rent is overpriced and management is very unresponsive and many times frustratingly incompetent. This was especially frustrating during the application and move-in process. It took forever to finalize my lease and communication about move-in was very unclear. Upsides: fun building with tons of Kellogg students and great amenities.

The internet is a problem because it's controlled by AccessMedia3. They only want to use cheap equipment on the wifi access points that they provide you with so there is problems with overlapped wireless signals using the same frequencies.

The elevators are a problem because each tower only has 2 elevators, one which can often times be used as service elevator and not operational. That means typically that the tower only has one working elevator many times.

Other than that, the place is nice and comfortable and everything you would expect from a 'luxury' building.

Management is not very transparent about when there are problems though and very slow to get leases to you.

e2 is beautiful and the amenities are great. That said, apartments are poorly designed and management is unreliable.

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.

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.

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.
