1
00:00:06,356 --> 00:00:08,376
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:37,625 --> 00:00:46,178
- 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 'ILLC' 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 ILLC 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 ILLC,

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 ILLC 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 ILLC 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 ILLC.

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 ILLC, 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 access ILLC.

100
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
At which you would also use your key,

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

102
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and 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 sunny unit.

104
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Take a step in and you can take in the view

105
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is great, of the downtown.

106
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Here would be you bed.

107
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You can go ahead 
and customize the way you want

108
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
putting a lot of pictures behind you...

109
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
A lot of students like to string up
lights in their unit.

110
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Do anything that makes you feel 
like you are at home.

111
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There's also all the furniture 
that you see here

112
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
included with the unit

113
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so there would be
all of these dressers,

114
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
desks, interesting fun fact 
that you might not realize

115
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but this is a corkboard
which you can go ahead

116
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and pins things to.

117
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If you want to have your calendar,

118
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
reminders, to-do notes,

119
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
anything that might be useful to you.

120
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Each unit here also comes included

121
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with air conditioning and heating

122
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which you can go ahead
and change yourself, right here.

123
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Storage is included 
on both sides of this unit

124
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which would allow you lots of space

125
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to go ahead and hang up your dress shirts,

126
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or jackets, whatever you may have

127
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to face the Canadian winters.

128
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Let's go ahead and take a look 
at the bathroom unit,

129
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is right here.

130
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So as you can see here, in ILLC 
you do have your personal bathroom

131
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is great for your use.

132
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's really nice for the privacy purposes

133
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of just having this located 
right inside your unit.

134
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So if that's something you're looking for,

135
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it's a very unique set-up

136
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that is specific to our
International Living/Learning Centre.

137
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now let's go ahead and take a look at
what else ILLC has to offer.

138
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One more thing that is really close
to the resident service desk

139
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is also your mailbox.

140
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So if you're living here at ILLC

141
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you'll go ahead and be assigned a key

142
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to one of these mailboxes,

143
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is great if you want
to get snail mail from home.

144
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I really loved it during my first year,

145
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
getting postcards 
from family members and friends,

146
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and it's really convenient too,
if you do want packages,

147
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they're going to be sent 
to the residence service desk,

148
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
where you can go ahead
and get those for pick-up.

149
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Alright, so now we'll be 
heading outside of ILLC.

150
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Once again, thank you so much

151
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for visiting us on this tour of ILLC.

152
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We do also have double rooms,

153
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which we're not currently showing off
during this tour,

154
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but we do have diagrams 
which are available

155
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and will be posting right now.

156
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So just to recap,

157
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We have our 'Single' bedroom,

158
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and we have our 'Double' bedrooms

159
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which are available within ILLC.

160
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
All of these units come 
with a 7-day meal plan,

161
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which can go ahead
and be used at the ILLC cafeteria

162
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
located on the grounds level,

163
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or also at the Pitman cafeteria,
if you wish to switch things up.

164
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We also have a lot of really great space

165
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in the common lounge to go ahead
and spend with your Residence Advisor

166
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and Academic Link 
for different programming

167
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and this building is home 
to Living Learning communities

168
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
including Entrepreneurship and Innovation,

169
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as well as Fashion.

170
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Thank you so much for tuning in,

171
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and we hope to see you in our next video.

172
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Take care!
