WEBVTT

00:00:06.356 --> 00:00:08.376
(upbeat music)

00:00:37.625 --> 00:00:46.178
- So right now we're standing 
right in front of our

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
International Living/Learning Center

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or 'ILLC' for short.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Although the title includes 
'International' in the name,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it doesn't mean that you need to be

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
an 'international student' to apply here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
can still be 'domestic' and from Canada
and still be considered.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're going to check out 
two different room styles today,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is the 'Single' and the 'Double.'

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's head on inside
and take a look!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(ambient music)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(keys jingle)
(door beeps)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A fun fact about
the International Living/Learning Centre,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is that it used to be a hotel
until it was bought by the university.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So it's a really neat type of room style

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which we'll be checking out.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All of the suites in here 
do have bathrooms

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which are inside the bedroom units.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, it's great if you're looking

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for a little bit more privacy 
in that regard.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are inside the bedroom units

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We do have our ILLC lounge 
over to the side,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is a great area if you want

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to go ahead and do schoolwork 
with friends,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or just want a place to hang out
while you're doing some of your...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
daily tasks, working on schoolwork,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or just want to grab a bite to eat.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We also have the cafeteria here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on the ground floor,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which we'll be taking a look at 
in just a moment.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Here is one of the cafeterias
that we offer here at Ryerson Residence.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This one is located 
within the base of ILLC,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but it's open to all students,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
across our buildings.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So no matter where you're living,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you can still go ahead and access here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We have drink machines here on the side,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
lots of space for eating.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then we have a sign right here,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
dedicated to how we really 
support local foods

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and incorporate that into our processes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So here in ILLC if you are 
living in this building,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you would be enrolled 
in the seven-day meal plan.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
However, students in the 5-day
meal plan, or also the 'Flex' option,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we're just having dollars loaded
onto their account in a declining balance,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
would also be able to access this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As you can see right here, 
we usually have a salad and soup bar.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We have hot options,
which are provided on a daily basis.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then we also have 
a lot of different factors

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which go into consideration
for allergies,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
dietary restrictions,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and also just different options

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that rotate throughout the week,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so that you don't become bored.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And let's go ahead and go up

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to the Residence Tower,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
where we can go ahead 
and take a look at the rooms!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So now we're standing in front 
of the resident security desk

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for the International Living 
/ Learning Centre.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We provide 24/7 security at

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
all of our residence buildings,
with ILLC included within that.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So we usually, during the school year,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
have a student member
during the school day

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
located here at this desk,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
who is able to help you with mail,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
packages, or anything else 
that you may need during your stay

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
including signing in guests.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They will go ahead and allow you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to go ahead and scan 
your residence ID right here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
before you go ahead
and take the elevator bank

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
up to see the Residence Tower.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's go ahead and take a look!

NOTE Paragraph

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(elevator beeps)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Alright, so right now we're just

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
stepping onto one of our floors 
here in ILLC.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So let's go ahead and take a look

NOTE Paragraph

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
at what that looks like.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We have our common lounge 
when you step out of the elevators,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which would be a great area 
for you to go ahead and meet

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for weekly meetings 
with your Residence Advisor.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And you can see 
all these opportunities right here,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which would usually be located
on the calendar.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So come the school year,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it is full-to-the-brim

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with everything happening each day.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Here in ILLC, we also have

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a common lounge area,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is fantastic for going ahead

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and fitting all of your cooking needs.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So even though you're enrolled
in the seven-day meal plan

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and have the cafeteria down below,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
just right on the ground level,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you also can use this at any time

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if you want to cook a late night snack,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or just store some food,
for your own use.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's go ahead and take a look

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
at what our room styles look like here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Great, so now we're going to go ahead 
and access ILLC.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
At which you would also use your key,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
insert it right in the door,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and then take a step in.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So as you can see,
it's a very bright and sunny unit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Take a step in and you can take in the view

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is great, of the downtown.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Here would be you bed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can go ahead 
and customize the way you want

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
putting a lot of pictures behind you...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A lot of students like to string up
lights in their unit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Do anything that makes you feel 
like you are at home.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's also all the furniture 
that you see here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
included with the unit

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so there would be
all of these dressers,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
desks, interesting fun fact 
that you might not realize

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but this is a corkboard
which you can go ahead

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and pins things to.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you want to have your calendar,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
reminders, to-do notes,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
anything that might be useful to you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Each unit here also comes included

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with air conditioning and heating

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which you can go ahead
and change yourself, right here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Storage is included 
on both sides of this unit

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which would allow you lots of space

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to go ahead and hang up your dress shirts,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or jackets, whatever you may have

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to face the Canadian winters.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's go ahead and take a look 
at the bathroom unit,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is right here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So as you can see here, in ILLC 
you do have your personal bathroom

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is great for your use.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's really nice for the privacy purposes

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of just having this located 
right inside your unit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So if that's something you're looking for,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's a very unique set-up

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that is specific to our
International Living/Learning Centre.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now let's go ahead and take a look at
what else ILLC has to offer.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One more thing that is really close
to the resident service desk

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is also your mailbox.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So if you're living here at ILLC

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you'll go ahead and be assigned a key

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to one of these mailboxes,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which is great if you want
to get snail mail from home.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I really loved it during my first year,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
getting postcards 
from family members and friends,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and it's really convenient too,
if you do want packages,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they're going to be sent 
to the residence service desk,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
where you can go ahead
and get those for pick-up.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Alright, so now we'll be 
heading outside of ILLC.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Once again, thank you so much

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for visiting us on this tour of ILLC.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We do also have double rooms,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which we're not currently showing off
during this tour,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but we do have diagrams 
which are available

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and will be posting right now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So just to recap,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We have our 'Single' bedroom,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and we have our 'Double' bedrooms

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which are available within ILLC.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All of these units come 
with a 7-day meal plan,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which can go ahead
and be used at the ILLC cafeteria

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
located on the grounds level,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or also at the Pitman cafeteria,
if you wish to switch things up.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We also have a lot of really great space

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in the common lounge to go ahead
and spend with your Residence Advisor

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and Academic Link 
for different programming

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and this building is home 
to Living Learning communities

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
including Entrepreneurship and Innovation,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as well as Fashion.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Thank you so much for tuning in,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and we hope to see you in our next video.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Take care!
