The McManus Living/Learning Center is a seven-story apartment complex designed to suit the needs of Kellogg students and their partners and families. Conveniently located in downtown Evanston near restaurants, banks, stores and public transportation, the McManus Center is only three blocks from the Jacobs Center, where Kellogg full-time classes are held and where faculty members maintain offices.
Approximately 300 students and 50 partners live in McManus' recently renovated, comfortable furnished and unfurnished apartments. The 208 units consist of one- and two-bedroom apartments as well as single and double studio apartments. Some of the two-bedroom apartments are designed to accommodate families with up to two children.

Why live at McManus?
McManus brings the Kellogg community home to students, partners and families new to the area. Because the center is occupied solely by Kellogg students and visiting scholars, it's a great place to make social and professional contacts while also offering privacy and the benefits of apartment living.

Convenient Leasing
Leases at McManus are for the school term only (June to June for One-Year MBA students and September to June for Two-Year MBA students). For students whose summer internships and post graduate jobs are not in Evanston, this allows for a significant cost savings of up to 3 months rent during each summer. For students whose summer internships are based in Evanston, a summer extension is available.
McManus does not require in-person signing of leases; instead you are able to do complete the lease online, making it possible to secure housing without an additional trip to Evanston. No credit report is required with your application, and McManus only requires a $300 non-refundable deposit to secure your apartment, once you receive an assignment. This deposit will be credited to your student account once you move into your apartment.

Utilities Included
McManus rent includes heat, electricity, gas, water, basic cable TV, wireless Internet access throughout the building, high-speed Internet connections in each apartment, and free printing from each apartment to the ground-floor computer lab. Phone service is provided by Northwestern Technologies Group. There is no monthly fee; instead, you simply pay for the local and long distance calls you make. All utilities are already established when you move in, saving you the hassle of making arrangements and paying deposits in advance.
