I have had a great experience with E2. There are tons of Kellogg students in the building, nice amenities including a gym, and new construction. The units are on the smaller end and more expensive but it is nice to come home to a great apartment. The building is very safe and has great views.

E2 is one of those buildings that was constructed to look really nice but was made using the cheapest materials. None of the design layouts make sense (for example, there is a random pillar in the middle of one of our bedrooms that takes away a lot of useable square footage).

Management starting in 2017 is horrendous. They try to micromanage everything and have been making up rules as they go, even citing non-existent clauses in the lease.

It used to be the hub for Kellogg students but since Kellogg moved further away to the Global Hub, that value prop has declined significantly.

Overall, it is not worth the cost whatsoever.

Pay a lot but the building is nice and SOOO many Kellogg people live here which is nice for making socializing easy and sharing ubers anywhere. Living in the west side of the building is annoying because there's no doorman to let up friends/food delivery and having packages delivered is a huge pain (always unclear which address to use, I've lost packages because of it)

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

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.

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!

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).

Great building but internet/elevators break regularly. Management is rude and unhelpful. Worth it for the social aspect but basically treated as bad as a NYC/SF tenant.

It's by far the nicest and most modern building in Evanston but the staff is not very friendly or helpful.
Elevators are constantly down and Internet tends to stop working regularly as well.

The building is very new. While rent is high for the area and the units tend to be small, a ton of Kellogg people live here. The pool is fun during the summer.
