I lived in EHS this
I lived in EHS this past summer at the 55 John Street location. I chose it for the location and because it was more affordable than other housing options. EHS was a no brainer and an easy process. Because there was no housing lottery I knew where I'd be staying months ahead of moving in. The staff was friendly and always put on fun weekly events like kayaking, seeing Shakespeare in the park, and touring the top of Freedom Tower. Even if you didn't want to participate in these activities they always had great recommendations for things to do with your friends around the city. The building had a solid gym facility with weights and treadmills, always felt safe courtesy of the security staff, was quiet at night, had adjustable A/C, and was all around everything I wanted for my summer living situation.
