- So right now we're standing right in front of our
International Living/Learning Center
or 'ilc' 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.
can still be 'domestic' and from Canada and still be considered.
We're going to check out two different room styles today,
which is the 'Single' and the 'Double.'
Let's head on inside and take a look!
(ambient music)
(keys jingle) (door beeps)
A fun fact about the International Living/Learning Centre,
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.
are inside the bedroom units
We do have our ilc lounge over to the side,
which is a great area if you want
to go ahead and do schoolwork with friends,
or just want a place to hang out while you're doing some of your...
daily tasks, working on schoolwork,
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 offer here at Ryerson Residence.
This one is located within the base of ilc,
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 incorporate that into our processes.
So here in ilc if you are living in this building,
you would be enrolled in the seven-day meal plan.
However, students in the 5-day meal plan, or also the 'Flex' option,
we're just having dollars loaded onto their account in a declining balance,
would also be able to access this.
As you can see right here, we usually have a salad and soup bar.
We have hot options, which are provided on a daily basis.
And then we also have a lot of different factors
which go into consideration for 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 Centre.
We provide 24/7 security at
all of our residence buildings, with ilc included within that.
So we usually, during the school year,
have a student member during the school day
located here at this desk,
who is 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!
(elevator beeps)
Alright, so right now we're just
stepping onto one of our floors here in ilc.
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 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 the school year,
it is full-to-the-brim
with everything happening each day.
Here in ilc, we also have
a common lounge area,
which is fantastic for going ahead
and fitting all of 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 just store some food, for your own use.
Let's go ahead and take a look
at what 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
