99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
[Music]

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- So right now we're standing 
right in front of our

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
International Living/Learning Center

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or 'ilc' for short.

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Although the title includes 
'International' in the name,

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it doesn't mean that you need to be

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
an 'international student' to apply here.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
can still be 'domestic' and from Canada
and still be considered.

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We're going to check out 
two different room styles today,

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is the 'Single' and the 'Double.'

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Let's head on inside
and take a look!

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(ambient music)

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(keys jingle)
(door beeps)

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
A fun fact about
the International Living/Learning Centre,

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is that it used to be a hotel
until it was bought by the university.

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So it's a really neat type of room style

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which we'll be checking out.

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
All of the suites in here 
do have bathrooms

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which are inside the bedroom units.

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, it's great if you're looking

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for a little bit more privacy 
in that regard.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
are inside the bedroom units

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We do have our ilc lounge 
over to the side,

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is a great area if you want

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to go ahead and do schoolwork 
with friends,

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or just want a place to hang out
while you're doing some of your...

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
daily tasks, working on schoolwork,

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or just want to grab a bite to eat.

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We also have the cafeteria here

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on the ground floor,

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which we'll be taking a look at 
in just a moment.

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Here is one of the cafeterias
that we offer here at Ryerson Residence.

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This one is located 
within the base of ilc,

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but it's open to all students,

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
across our buildings.

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So no matter where you're living,

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you can still go ahead and access here.

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We have drink machines here on the side,

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
lots of space for eating.

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And then we have a sign right here,

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
dedicated to how we really 
support local foods

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and incorporate that into our processes.

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So here in ilc if you are 
living in this building,

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you would be enrolled 
in the seven-day meal plan.

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
However, students in the 5-day
meal plan, or also the 'Flex' option,

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we're just having dollars loaded
onto their account in a declining balance,

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
would also be able to access this.

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
As you can see right here, 
we usually have a salad and soup bar.

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We have hot options,
which are provided on a daily basis.

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And then we also have 
a lot of different factors

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which go into consideration
for allergies,

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
dietary restrictions,

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and also just different options

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that rotate throughout the week,

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so that you don't become bored.

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And let's go ahead and go up

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to the Residence Tower,

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
where we can go ahead 
and take a look at the rooms!

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So now we're standing in front 
of the resident security desk

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for the International Living 
/ Learning Centre.

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We provide 24/7 security at

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
all of our residence buildings,
with ilc included within that.

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So we usually, during the school year,

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
have a student member
during the school day

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
located here at this desk,

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who is able to help you with mail,

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
packages, or anything else 
that you may need during your stay

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
including signing in guests.

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They will go ahead and allow you

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to go ahead and scan 
your residence ID right here

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
before you go ahead
and take the elevator bank

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
up to see the Residence Tower.

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Let's go ahead and take a look!

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(elevator beeps)

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Alright, so right now we're just

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
stepping onto one of our floors 
here in ilc.

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So let's go ahead and take a look

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
at what that looks like.

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We have our common lounge 
when you step out of the elevators,

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which would be a great area 
for you to go ahead and meet

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for weekly meetings 
with your residence advisor.

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And you can see 
all these opportunities right here,

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which would usually be located
on the calendar.

84
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So come the school year,

85
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it is full-to-the-brim

86
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with everything happening each day.

87
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Here in ilc, we also have

88
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a common lounge area,

89
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is fantastic for going ahead

90
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and fitting all of your cooking needs.

91
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So even though you're enrolled
in the seven-day meal plan

92
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and have the cafeteria down below,

93
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
just right on the ground level,

94
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you also can use this at any time

95
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
if you want to cook a late night snack,

96
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or just store some food,
for your own use.

97
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Let's go ahead and take a look

98
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
at what our room styles look like here.

99
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Great, so now we're going to go ahead and

100
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
access elk at which you would also use

101
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
your key insert it right in the door and

102
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
then take a step in

103
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so as you can see it's a very bright and

104
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sunny unit

105
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
when you take a step in you can take in

106
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the view

107
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is great of the downtown

108
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
here would be your bed which you could

109
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
go ahead and customize the way you want

110
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with putting a lot of pictures behind

111
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you a lot of students like to string up

112
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
lights in their units do anything that

113
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
really just makes you feel like you're

114
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
at home

115
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
there's also all the furniture that you

116
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
see here included with the unit

117
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so there would be

118
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
all of

119
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
these dressers

120
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
desks

121
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which interesting fun fact that you

122
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
might not realize but this is a cork

123
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
board which you could go ahead and

124
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
pin things to if you want to have your

125
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
calendar reminders to-do notes anything

126
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that might be useful to you

127
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
each unit here also comes included with

128
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
air conditioning and heating which you

129
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
can go ahead and change yourself right

130
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
here

131
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
[Music]

132
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
storage is included on both sides of

133
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this unit which would allow you lots of

134
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
space to go ahead and hang up your dress

135
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
shirts

136
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or jackets whatever you may have to face

137
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the canadian winters

138
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
let's go ahead and take a look at the

139
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
bathroom unit which is right here

140
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so as you can see here in elk you do

141
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
have your personal bathroom which is

142
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
great for your use

143
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it's really nice for the privacy

144
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
purposes of just having this located

145
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
right inside your unit so if that's

146
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
something you're looking for it's a very

147
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
unique setup that is specific to our

148
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
international living learning center

149
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
now let's go ahead and take a look at

150
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what else elk has to offer

151
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
one more thing that is really close to

152
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the resident service desk is also your

153
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
mailbox so if you're living here at elk

154
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you'll go ahead and be assigned a key to

155
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
one of these mailboxes which is great if

156
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you want to get snail mail from home i

157
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
really loved it during my first year

158
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
getting postcards from family members

159
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and friends

160
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and it's really convenient too if you do

161
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
want packages

162
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they're going to be sent to the

163
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
residence service desk where you can go

164
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ahead and get those for pickup

165
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
alright so now we'll be heading outside

166
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of elk once again

167
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
thank you so much for visiting us on

168
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

169
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

170
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
off during this tour but we do have

171
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
diagrams which are available and we'll

172
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
be posting right now

173
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so just to recap we have our

174
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
single bedroom

175
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and we have our double bedrooms which

176
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
are available within elk

177
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
all of these units come with the seven

178
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
day meal plan which can go ahead and be

179
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
used at the elk cafeteria located on the

180
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ground level

181
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
