Wouldn't Recommend
Laundry facilities are always broken/out-of-service, they are overused because they are shared with 50+ floors of residents.
Had flooding issues.
Electricity bill very high in winter (150-200+) and heating is inconsistent.

Close to campus
Axis is very close to campus which is its main perk. There is a nice gym, sauna, steam room, pool, and study area. The maintenance staff work very quickly when anything comes up. Having doormen and secure package are is really nice. Definitely not the nicest apartments but the proximity to campus and the price for streeterville makes it worth it.

Old and doesn't feel safe
The elevators in the building are unreliable, which is scary when you live on a very high floor. They have been better recently, but there were a few months where they were constantly going out of service or people were getting stuck. When they weren't all working, you would have to wait for a long time just to get a full elevator. It could add 10 minutes to my commute. The thought of getting stuck is really scary. They have been better in recent months, but my experience the first few months have made me lose all trust, and it makes me nervous to live on such a high floor where I can't reasonably use the stairs.
There was one incident where there was a fire in the dumpster, and smoke was rising up the trash chute and filling all the floors of the building. The building management did not set off any kind of alarm or send any alert to residents. There was visible smoke in my hallway, and there is no way I would have known if I had been sleeping and hadn't smelled it. I don't trust them to alert me to get out if needed, which is also very scary.
Some apartments also flood when it rains. Water comes in around the windows, and it seeps up through people's floorboards and down through people's ceilings. The maintenace is so poor that apartments that are very far off the ground can end up with sitting water or collapsing parts of ceilings in very bad storms.
The location is convenient, and it is pet-friendly. The gym is also nice. But if it weren't for the location and it being dog-friendly, I would move.

Most residents are moving out
Overall, the experience at Axis has not been up to par. Most student residents are planning to look for apartments elsewhere next year and this decision is largely attributed to poor management that fails to address the building's numerous issues. Instead, it chooses to cover up any shortcomings and deletes its own Google reviews.

It’s a nice place to live near campus but management is very difficult to deal with and there are a lot of frustrations like the elevators never working

Good location, bad property management
It is very conveniently located and I can walk to the hospital in <5 minutes. The rooftop has some of the best views in the city but is only open ~6 months. The elevators frequently break down. Rooftop grills are poorly maintained. Gym is nice and there are shared washer/dryers in the fitness center.

Great. Worth the issues for me.
Views are great in my apartment. Super close to med school. Rooftop is sweet. Had some minor flooding. Elevators are slow sometimes.

Streeterville Reviews
There are some more expensive restaurants and fast food places. Navy Pier attracts a lot of tourists and they can be annoying to navigate around.
Noise is not usually too big of an issue in this neighborhood; it's pretty quiet at night.
There are multiple grocery stores nearby for multiple choices. Also there are a bunch of great places to eat so one will not get bored with options.
