The elevators in the west tower break so regularly that it is a joke among all the residents. It's a huge issue since there is no way to get up from the ground floor without going and taking the elevator in the east tower then, walking across to the west tower and then walking up the stairs (up to the 16th floor on foot!). I have NEVER seen a building with such poor elevators.

Also, they refuse to keep the hot tub open late and have given residents differing reasons as to why. Initially they said they didn't want to because they were selling the building. Now they claim piping issues, but people have a hard time believing that after the first statement.

They used to allow animals on the pool deck but no longer allow dogs up there.

They've been raising rent by ~25% per year on residents, which is an insane number.

Lots of grad students live here. It's great for them because they all get to live together. If you're not in Northwestern's MBA program I wouldn't recommend it for you.

They need a better system for packages on the west tower. They get stolen now and then by people who walk in and just take them out of the lobby

For a similar price to many other Evanston properties, we are satisfied with the size and niceness of our unit and happy to be near other Kellogg students. Huge plus to have access to the pool / patio, basketball court, and other building amenities. Access to Downtown Evanston and retail/restaurants is worse than other apartments, so it can feel difficult to grab a takeout meal or do a quick convenience store run.

Like a lot of complexes in Evanston, E2 is way more expensive than it should. We're getting charged NYC/SF prices for (albeit) a nice building in a small city with not much going on. I'd seriously consider living in Chicago and commuting to school.

E2's saving grace is that it's pretty much the social hub of Kellogg outside of the Global Hub building and it's a fairly short walk to school (about 18 minutes).

Love living in E2! Great place to be social with other Kellogg students

All things considered, it's a very comfortable and nice apartment building. It's overpriced but it does include some nice amenities such as a gym, outdoor patio with grills and a pool, and the doormen are very friendly. Also, many students end up living here so it's convenient to be near friends and classmates. The parking garage is great if you have a car, but it's incredibly overpriced.

Maintenance and building management is very responsive whenever you have an issue. The walls are highly insulated so you aren’t disrupted at night by neighbors. There is a basketball court inside the building and the outdoor patio is great for social events and gatherings. The only downside is the gym in the building is fairly small.

While things go wrong in the building from time to time (e.g., internet outages), the building and amenities overall are great for Evanston. The staff is extremely responsive to issues that arise in specific apartments. Most Kellogg students also live here, which makes it easier to socialize in the cold winter months without leaving the building.

E2 is the place to be for Kellogg students - the apartments are very nice, the location is great, and it feels like an upscale adult dorm building. All the amenities are very nice and it's great to have an apartment that is so pet-friendly. Maintenance service is very fast as well.

E2 is the best place in Evanston for social life given the huge density of students in the building.

I am definitely overpaying for rent but for me it was worth it to be close to other Kellogg students
