0:00:06.356,0:00:08.376
(upbeat music)

0:00:37.625,0:00:46.178
- So right now we're standing [br]right in front of our

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
International Living/Learning Center

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or 'ILLC' for short.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Although the title includes [br]'International' in the name,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it doesn't mean that you need to be

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
an 'international student' to apply here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
can still be 'domestic' and from Canada[br]and still be considered.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We're going to check out [br]two different room styles today,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which is the 'Single' and the 'Double.'

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Let's head on inside[br]and take a look!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(ambient music)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(keys jingle)[br](door beeps)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A fun fact about[br]the International Living/Learning Centre,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is that it used to be a hotel[br]until it was bought by the university.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So it's a really neat type of room style

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which we'll be checking out.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
All of the suites in here [br]do have bathrooms

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which are inside the bedroom units.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, it's great if you're looking

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for a little bit more privacy [br]in that regard.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
are inside the bedroom units

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We do have our ILLC lounge [br]over to the side,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which is a great area if you want

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to go ahead and do schoolwork [br]with friends,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or just want a place to hang out[br]while you're doing some of your...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
daily tasks, working on schoolwork,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or just want to grab a bite to eat.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We also have the cafeteria here

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
on the ground floor,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which we'll be taking a look at [br]in just a moment.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Here is one of the cafeterias[br]that we offer here at Ryerson Residence.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This one is located [br]within the base of ILLC,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but it's open to all students,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
across our buildings.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So no matter where you're living,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you can still go ahead and access here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We have drink machines here on the side,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
lots of space for eating.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And then we have a sign right here,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
dedicated to how we really [br]support local foods

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and incorporate that into our processes.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So here in ILLC if you are [br]living in this building,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you would be enrolled [br]in the seven-day meal plan.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
However, students in the 5-day[br]meal plan, or also the 'Flex' option,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we're just having dollars loaded[br]onto their account in a declining balance,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
would also be able to access this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
As you can see right here, [br]we usually have a salad and soup bar.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We have hot options,[br]which are provided on a daily basis.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And then we also have [br]a lot of different factors

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which go into consideration[br]for allergies,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
dietary restrictions,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and also just different options

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that rotate throughout the week,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so that you don't become bored.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And let's go ahead and go up

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to the Residence Tower,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
where we can go ahead [br]and take a look at the rooms!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So now we're standing in front [br]of the resident security desk

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for the International Living [br]/ Learning Centre.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We provide 24/7 security at

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
all of our residence buildings,[br]with ILLC included within that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So we usually, during the school year,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
have a student member[br]during the school day

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
located here at this desk,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who is able to help you with mail,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
packages, or anything else [br]that you may need during your stay

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
including signing in guests.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They will go ahead and allow you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to go ahead and scan [br]your residence ID right here

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
before you go ahead[br]and take the elevator bank

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
up to see the Residence Tower.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Let's go ahead and take a look!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(elevator beeps)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Alright, so right now we're just

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
stepping onto one of our floors [br]here in ILLC.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So let's go ahead and take a look

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
at what that looks like.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We have our common lounge [br]when you step out of the elevators,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which would be a great area [br]for you to go ahead and meet

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for weekly meetings [br]with your Residence Advisor.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And you can see [br]all these opportunities right here,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which would usually be located[br]on the calendar.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So come the school year,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it is full-to-the-brim

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with everything happening each day.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Here in ILLC, we also have

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a common lounge area,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which is fantastic for going ahead

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and fitting all of your cooking needs.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So even though you're enrolled[br]in the seven-day meal plan

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and have the cafeteria down below,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
just right on the ground level,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you also can use this at any time

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
if you want to cook a late night snack,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or just store some food,[br]for your own use.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Let's go ahead and take a look

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
at what our room styles look like here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Great, so now we're going to go ahead [br]and access ILLC.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
At which you would also use your key,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
insert it right in the door,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and then take a step in.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So as you can see,[br]it's a very bright and sunny unit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Take a step in and you can take in the view

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which is great, of the downtown.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Here would be you bed.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You can go ahead [br]and customize the way you want

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
putting a lot of pictures behind you...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A lot of students like to string up[br]lights in their unit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Do anything that makes you feel [br]like you are at home.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There's also all the furniture [br]that you see here

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
included with the unit

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so there would be[br]all of these dressers,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
desks, interesting fun fact [br]that you might not realize

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but this is a corkboard[br]which you can go ahead

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and pins things to.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If you want to have your calendar,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
reminders, to-do notes,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
anything that might be useful to you.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Each unit here also comes included

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with air conditioning and heating

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which you can go ahead[br]and change yourself, right here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Storage is included [br]on both sides of this unit

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which would allow you lots of space

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to go ahead and hang up your dress shirts,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or jackets, whatever you may have

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to face the Canadian winters.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Let's go ahead and take a look [br]at the bathroom unit,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which is right here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So as you can see here, in ILLC [br]you do have your personal bathroom

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which is great for your use.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's really nice for the privacy purposes

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of just having this located [br]right inside your unit.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So if that's something you're looking for,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it's a very unique set-up

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that is specific to our[br]International Living/Learning Centre.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now let's go ahead and take a look at[br]what else ILLC has to offer.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
One more thing that is really close[br]to the resident service desk

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is also your mailbox.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So if you're living here at ILLC

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you'll go ahead and be assigned a key

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to one of these mailboxes,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which is great if you want[br]to get snail mail from home.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I really loved it during my first year,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
getting postcards [br]from family members and friends,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and it's really convenient too,[br]if you do want packages,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they're going to be sent [br]to the residence service desk,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
where you can go ahead[br]and get those for pick-up.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Alright, so now we'll be [br]heading outside of ILLC.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Once again, thank you so much

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for visiting us on this tour of ILLC.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We do also have double rooms,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which we're not currently showing off[br]during this tour,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but we do have diagrams [br]which are available

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and will be posting right now.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So just to recap,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We have our 'Single' bedroom,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and we have our 'Double' bedrooms

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which are available within ILLC.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
All of these units come [br]with a 7-day meal plan,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which can go ahead[br]and be used at the ILLC cafeteria

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
located on the grounds level,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
or also at the Pitman cafeteria,[br]if you wish to switch things up.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We also have a lot of really great space

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in the common lounge to go ahead[br]and spend with your Residence Advisor

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and Academic Link [br]for different programming

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and this building is home [br]to Living Learning communities

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
including Entrepreneurship and Innovation,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
as well as Fashion.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Thank you so much for tuning in,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and we hope to see you in our next video.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Take care!
