00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:33,320
[Music]

2
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,480
so right now we're standing right in

3
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:38,000
front of our international living

4
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,640
learning center or ilk for short

5
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,920
although the title includes

6
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,440
international in the name it doesn't

7
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:44,399
mean that you need to be an

8
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:46,399
international student to apply here you

9
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:48,079
can still be domestic and from canada

10
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:50,079
and still be considered we're going to

11
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:51,840
check out two different room cells today

12
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,239
which is the single and the double let's

13
00:00:54,239 --> 00:00:58,520
head on inside and take a look

14
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:17,200
a fun fact about the international

15
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,720
living learning center is that it used

16
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,960
to be a hotel until it was bought by the

17
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:22,080
university

18
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,000
so it's a really neat type of room style

19
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,880
which we'll be checking out all of the

20
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,280
suites in here do have bathrooms which

21
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,439
are inside the bedroom units

22
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:32,960
so it's great if you're looking for a

23
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:36,960
little bit more privacy in that regard

24
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:41,040
we do have our elk lounge over to the

25
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,360
side which is a great area for if you

26
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,200
want to go ahead and do school work with

27
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,439
friends or just want a place to hang out

28
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:50,240
while you're doing some of your

29
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,040
daily tasks working on school work or

30
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,119
just want to grab a bite to eat

31
00:01:55,119 --> 00:01:57,119
we also have the cafeteria here on the

32
00:01:57,119 --> 00:01:58,960
ground floor which we'll be taking a

33
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,079
look at in just a moment

34
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,319
here is one of the cafeterias that we

35
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:12,879
operate here at ryerson residence

36
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:14,800
this one is located within the base of

37
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,440
elk but it's open to all students across

38
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,280
our buildings so no matter where you're

39
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,959
living you can still go ahead and access

40
00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:23,760
here we have drink machines here on the

41
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:24,640
side

42
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:26,800
lots of space for eating

43
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,400
and then we have

44
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,200
a sign right here dedicated to how we

45
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,959
really support local foods and

46
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:36,239
incorporating that into our processes

47
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:38,480
so here in elk if you are living in this

48
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,680
building you would be enrolled in the

49
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,840
seven day meal plan however students in

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,080
the five-day meal plan are also the flex

51
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,000
option for just having dollars loaded

52
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,599
onto their account but a declining

53
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:49,680
balance would also be able to access

54
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,640
this

55
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:52,560
as you can see right here we usually

56
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,200
have a salad and soup

57
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,160
we have

58
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,920
options which are provided on a daily

59
00:02:57,920 --> 00:02:59,040
basis

60
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,959
and then we also have a lot of different

61
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:03,120
factors which go into consideration for

62
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,560
allergy allergies dietary restrictions

63
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,720
and also just different options that

64
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,640
rotate throughout the week so that you

65
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:14,200
don't become bored

66
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,120
and let's go ahead and go up to the

67
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,800
residence tower where we can go ahead

68
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,840
and take a look at the rooms

69
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,159
so now we're standing in front of the

70
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:29,599
resident security desk for the

71
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:31,440
international living learning center we

72
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,080
provide 24 7 security at all of our

73
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,920
residence buildings with elk included

74
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,319
within that so we usually during the

75
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:40,799
school year have a student member during

76
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:42,799
the school day located here at this desk

77
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:44,480
who's able to help you with mail

78
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,480
packages or anything else that you may

79
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,959
need during your stay including signing

80
00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:50,319
in guests

81
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:51,840
they will go ahead and allow you to go

82
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,920
ahead and scan your residence id right

83
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,760
here before you go ahead and take the

84
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,239
elevator bank up to see the residence

85
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:01,840
tower let's go ahead and take a look

86
00:04:02,330 --> 00:04:04,319
[Music]

87
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:05,920
all right so right now we're just

88
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,840
stepping onto one of our floors here in

89
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,159
elk so let's go ahead and take a look at

90
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:12,159
what that looks like

91
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:13,920
we have our common lounge when you step

92
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,000
out of the elevators which would be a

93
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,720
great area for you to go ahead and meet

94
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:19,600
for

95
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,000
uh weekly meetings with your residence

96
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,479
advisor and you can see all these

97
00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:26,000
opportunities right here which would

98
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,320
usually be located on the calendar so

99
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,560
come to school here it is full to the

100
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,720
brim with everything happening each day

101
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,080
here in elk we also have a common lounge

102
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,040
area which is fantastic for going ahead

103
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,360
and fitting all your cooking needs so

104
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,720
even though you're enrolled in the seven

105
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,639
day meal plan and have the cafeteria

106
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:48,639
down below just right on the ground

107
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:49,520
level

108
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,520
you also can use this at any time if you

109
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,320
want to cook a late night snack or

110
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,240
to store some food for your own use

111
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,080
let's go ahead now and take a look at

112
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,080
what some of our room styles look like

113
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,280
here

114
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:06,960
great so now we're going to go ahead and

115
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,680
access elk at which you would also use

116
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,759
your key insert it right in the door and

117
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:14,639
then take a step in

118
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,240
so as you can see it's a very bright and

119
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,960
sunny unit

120
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:25,520
when you take a step in you can take in

121
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,360
the view

122
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,120
which is great of the downtown

123
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:34,880
here would be your bed which you could

124
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,440
go ahead and customize the way you want

125
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,600
with putting a lot of pictures behind

126
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,840
you a lot of students like to string up

127
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:44,080
lights in their units do anything that

128
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,600
really just makes you feel like you're

129
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,800
at home

130
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,960
there's also all the furniture that you

131
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,120
see here included with the unit

132
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,479
so there would be

133
00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:53,600
all of

134
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,759
these dressers

135
00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:57,199
desks

136
00:05:57,199 --> 00:05:58,960
which interesting fun fact that you

137
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,199
might not realize but this is a cork

138
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:03,520
board which you could go ahead and

139
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,120
pin things to if you want to have your

140
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,400
calendar reminders to-do notes anything

141
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,080
that might be useful to you

142
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,479
each unit here also comes included with

143
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:14,560
air conditioning and heating which you

144
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,080
can go ahead and change yourself right

145
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,080
here

146
00:06:20,810 --> 00:06:22,560
[Music]

147
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,960
storage is included on both sides of

148
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,759
this unit which would allow you lots of

149
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:29,600
space to go ahead and hang up your dress

150
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,479
shirts

151
00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:33,039
or jackets whatever you may have to face

152
00:06:33,039 --> 00:06:34,880
the canadian winters

153
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,199
let's go ahead and take a look at the

154
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:40,319
bathroom unit which is right here

155
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:42,560
so as you can see here in elk you do

156
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,160
have your personal bathroom which is

157
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,160
great for your use

158
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,759
it's really nice for the privacy

159
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:50,000
purposes of just having this located

160
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,840
right inside your unit so if that's

161
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:53,440
something you're looking for it's a very

162
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,400
unique setup that is specific to our

163
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,120
international living learning center

164
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,960
now let's go ahead and take a look at

165
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,440
what else elk has to offer

166
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,199
one more thing that is really close to

167
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:07,280
the resident service desk is also your

168
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:09,919
mailbox so if you're living here at elk

169
00:07:09,919 --> 00:07:11,680
you'll go ahead and be assigned a key to

170
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,680
one of these mailboxes which is great if

171
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,919
you want to get snail mail from home i

172
00:07:15,919 --> 00:07:17,360
really loved it during my first year

173
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,120
getting postcards from family members

174
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,240
and friends

175
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,400
and it's really convenient too if you do

176
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,919
want packages

177
00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:25,280
they're going to be sent to the

178
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,880
residence service desk where you can go

179
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,160
ahead and get those for pickup

180
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,160
alright so now we'll be heading outside

181
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,919
of elk once again

182
00:07:35,919 --> 00:07:37,919
thank you so much for visiting us on

183
00:07:37,919 --> 00:07:40,880
this tour of elk we do also have double

184
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,319
rooms which we're not currently showing

185
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:44,319
off during this tour but we do have

186
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:46,319
diagrams which are available and we'll

187
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:49,039
be posting right now

188
00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:51,919
so just to recap we have our
