Overpriced but worth it to me to be close to campus and in a building with a lot of other students.

Most of the units are poorly designed with columns in the way of where couches should be. You have to use your key to get upstairs which means that you have to go downstairs to let your guests up and receive your delivery food. There's no doorman in the west tower, meaning guests are stuck in the cold until you go get them. Additionally there is no one to receive packages on the west side, meaning that packages are often left out in the open. If you have them delivered to East tower, the post office will often get confused and return to sender. The apartments are poorly constructed and the refrigerators they chose are terrible and have little usable space. The AC units are difficult to program to get just right and are very loud when pushing air.
The only saving grace is that it's basically a Kellogg building so most of your friends are less than a 5 minute walk away indoors

The management is pretty terrible. Packages are a nightmare to deal with here. Internet is spotty and the elevators often are down. Honestly, picked this apartment because its where most Kellogg students live but now will be located further from the Global Hub (17 min walk vs 10 min walk to Jake)... Don't think I'd recommend to future Kellogg students.

Loads of Kellogg students live here which is nice / convenient, but the apartment units, especially studios/1brs, are extremely overpriced and not worth the value. Apartments lack storage space and finishes are cheap. Elevators seem to break at least once every other week. Management was difficult to work with during lease process.

Building is really nice, and has worked out some of their kinks. However issues still arise. Generally management has been responsive. Gym could be better (small) but common areas and pool deck are awesome.

The building is new, but poorly constructed and extremely overpriced.

Good place to live.

Will be further from new building. Great location this year, pool and gym is nice to have

TL;DR: The cost of E2 does not really align with what you get.
Yes, the building is new, but there are frequent issues with the ID cards and elevators not working - way more than is reasonable for a building so new.
The gym is comically undersized and not a great substitute if you're counting on it to avoid paying a gym membership elsewhere. They close a lot of the shared spaces down arbitrarily at 10PM - there's really no reason to do so.
You have to rent out the theater and the "party room" (really just another shared space).
Parking is massively overpriced considering they have lots of spare spaces.
The floor areas of the apartments are smaller than in other buildings in Evanston.

All in all, you're paying for modern, new accommodations close to campus, but you're overpaying and in lots and lots of small ways it begins to feel like a rip-off.

I love living at E2! My apartment is set up great and is small, but the perfect size for one person! The staff is very friendly and helpful and the amenities are great!
