[Music]
so right now we're standing right in
front of our international living
learning center or ilk for short
although the title includes
international in the name it doesn't
mean that you need to be an
international student to apply here you
can still be domestic and from canada
and still be considered we're going to
check out two different room cells today
which is the single and the double let's
head on inside and take a look
a fun fact about the international
living learning center is that it used
to be a hotel until it was bought by the
university
so it's a really neat type of room style
which we'll be checking out all of the
suites in here do have bathrooms which
are inside the bedroom units
so it's great if you're looking for a
little bit more privacy in that regard
we do have our elk lounge over to the
side which is a great area for if you
want to go ahead and do school work with
friends or just want a place to hang out
while you're doing some of your
daily tasks working on school work or
just want to grab a bite to eat
we also have the cafeteria here on the
ground floor which we'll be taking a
look at in just a moment
here is one of the cafeterias that we
operate here at ryerson residence
this one is located within the base of
elk but it's open to all students across
our buildings so no matter where you're
living you can still go ahead and access
here we have drink machines here on the
side
lots of space for eating
and then we have
a sign right here dedicated to how we
really support local foods and
incorporating that into our processes
so here in elk if you are living in this
building you would be enrolled in the
seven day meal plan however students in
the five-day meal plan are also the flex
option for just having dollars loaded
onto their account but a declining
balance would also be able to access
this
as you can see right here we usually
have a salad and soup
we have
options which are provided on a daily
basis
and then we also have a lot of different
factors which go into consideration for
allergy allergies dietary restrictions
and also just different options that
rotate throughout the week so that you
don't become bored
and let's go ahead and go up to the
residence tower where we can go ahead
and take a look at the rooms
so now we're standing in front of the
resident security desk for the
international living learning center we
provide 24 7 security at all of our
residence buildings with elk included
within that so we usually during the
school year have a student member during
the school day located here at this desk
who's able to help you with mail
packages or anything else that you may
need during your stay including signing
in guests
they will go ahead and allow you to go
ahead and scan your residence id right
here before you go ahead and take the
elevator bank up to see the residence
tower let's go ahead and take a look
[Music]
all right so right now we're just
stepping onto one of our floors here in
elk so let's go ahead and take a look at
what that looks like
we have our common lounge when you step
out of the elevators which would be a
great area for you to go ahead and meet
for
uh weekly meetings with your residence
advisor and you can see all these
opportunities right here which would
usually be located on the calendar so
come to school here it is full to the
brim with everything happening each day
here in elk we also have a common lounge
area which is fantastic for going ahead
and fitting all your cooking needs so
even though you're enrolled in the seven
day meal plan and have the cafeteria
down below just right on the ground
level
you also can use this at any time if you
want to cook a late night snack or
to store some food for your own use
let's go ahead now and take a look at
what some of our room styles look like
here
great so now we're going to go ahead and
access elk at which you would also use
your key insert it right in the door and
then take a step in
so as you can see it's a very bright and
sunny unit
when you take a step in you can take in
the view
which is great of the downtown
here would be your bed which you could
go ahead and customize the way you want
with putting a lot of pictures behind
you a lot of students like to string up
lights in their units do anything that
really just makes you feel like you're
at home
there's also all the furniture that you
see here included with the unit
so there would be
all of
these dressers
desks
which interesting fun fact that you
might not realize but this is a cork
board which you could go ahead and
pin things to if you want to have your
calendar reminders to-do notes anything
that might be useful to you
each unit here also comes included with
air conditioning and heating which you
can go ahead and change yourself right
here
[Music]
storage is included on both sides of
this unit which would allow you lots of
space to go ahead and hang up your dress
shirts
or jackets whatever you may have to face
the canadian winters
let's go ahead and take a look at the
bathroom unit which is right here
so as you can see here in elk you do
have your personal bathroom which is
great for your use
it's really nice for the privacy
purposes of just having this located
right inside your unit so if that's
something you're looking for it's a very
unique setup that is specific to our
international living learning center
now let's go ahead and take a look at
what else elk has to offer
one more thing that is really close to
the resident service desk is also your
mailbox so if you're living here at elk
you'll go ahead and be assigned a key to
one of these mailboxes which is great if
you want to get snail mail from home i
really loved it during my first year
getting postcards from family members
and friends
and it's really convenient too if you do
want packages
they're going to be sent to the
residence service desk where you can go
ahead and get those for pickup
alright so now we'll be heading outside
of elk once again
thank you so much for visiting us on
this tour of elk we do also have double
rooms which we're not currently showing
off during this tour but we do have
diagrams which are available and we'll
be posting right now
so just to recap we have our
single bedroom
and we have our double bedrooms which
are available within elk
all of these units come with the seven
day meal plan which can go ahead and be
used at the elk cafeteria located on the
ground level
or also at the pitman cafeteria if you
wish to switch things up
we also have a lot of really great space
here in the common lounge to go ahead
and spend with your residence advisor in
academic link for different programming
and this building is home to living
learning communities
including entrepreneurship and
innovation
as well as fashion
thank you so much for tuning in and we
hope to see you in our next video take
care
you
