0:00:00.000,0:00:02.020
(upbeat music)

0:00:34.601,0:00:37.083
- So right now we're standing [br]right in front of our

0:00:37.083,0:00:38.946
International Living/Learning Center

0:00:39.031,0:00:40.016
or 'ILLC' for short.

0:00:41.029,0:00:43.341
Although the title includes [br]'International' in the name,

0:00:43.341,0:00:44.499
it doesn't mean that you need to be

0:00:44.499,0:00:46.361
an 'international student' to apply here.

0:00:46.361,0:00:49.349
can still be 'domestic' and from Canada[br]and still be considered.

0:00:49.700,0:00:51.938
We're going to check out [br]two different room styles today,

0:00:52.103,0:00:53.894
which is the 'Single' and the 'Double.'

0:00:54.312,0:00:56.684
Let's head on inside[br]and take a look!

0:00:57.996,0:01:00.526
(ambient music)

0:01:04.326,0:01:06.874
(keys jingle)[br](door beeps)

0:01:15.200,0:01:18.344
A fun fact about[br]the International Living/Learning Centre,

0:01:18.344,0:01:21.753
is that it used to be a hotel[br]until it was bought by the university.

0:01:22.437,0:01:24.112
So it's a really neat type of room style

0:01:24.112,0:01:25.393
which we'll be checking out.

0:01:26.750,0:01:29.340
All of the suites in here [br]do have bathrooms

0:01:29.340,0:01:31.041
which are inside the bedroom units.

0:01:31.628,0:01:33.018
So, it's great if you're looking

0:01:33.018,0:01:35.394
for a little bit more privacy [br]in that regard.

0:01:39.547,0:01:41.692
We do have our ILLC lounge [br]over to the side,

0:01:41.772,0:01:43.588
which is a great area for if you want

0:01:43.588,0:01:45.744
to go ahead and do schoolwork [br]with friends,

0:01:45.744,0:01:49.245
or just want a place to hang out[br]while you're doing some of your...

0:01:49.735,0:01:52.725
daily tasks, working on schoolwork,

0:01:52.725,0:01:54.613
or just want to grab a bite to eat.

0:01:55.356,0:01:57.106
We also have the cafeteria here

0:01:57.106,0:01:58.136
on the ground floor,

0:01:58.583,0:02:00.612
which we'll be taking a look at [br]in just a moment.

0:02:08.131,0:02:12.635
Here is one of the cafeterias[br]that we offer here at Ryerson Residence.

0:02:12.767,0:02:15.669
This one is located [br]within the base of ILLC,

0:02:15.669,0:02:17.232
but it's open to all students,

0:02:17.232,0:02:18.738
across our buildings.

0:02:18.738,0:02:20.038
So no matter where you're living,

0:02:20.038,0:02:21.843
you can still go ahead and access here.

0:02:22.443,0:02:24.667
We have drink machines here on the side,

0:02:24.919,0:02:26.463
lots of space for eating.

0:02:27.169,0:02:29.487
And then we have a sign right here,

0:02:29.636,0:02:32.968
dedicated to how we really [br]support local foods

0:02:32.968,0:02:35.063
and incorporate that into our processes.

0:02:36.586,0:02:38.917
So here in ILLC if you are [br]living in this building,

0:02:39.034,0:02:40.859
you would be enrolled [br]in the seven-day meal plan.

0:02:40.931,0:02:44.837
However, students in the 5-day[br]meal plan, or also the 'Flex' option,

0:02:44.837,0:02:48.467
just having dollars loaded[br]onto their account in a declining balance,

0:02:48.467,0:02:50.344
would also be able to access this.

0:02:50.735,0:02:54.604
As you can see right here, [br]we usually have a salad and soup bar.

0:02:55.569,0:02:58.726
We have hot options,[br]which are provided on a daily basis.

0:02:59.409,0:03:01.695
And then we also have [br]a lot of different factors

0:03:01.695,0:03:04.217
which go into consideration[br]for allergies,

0:03:04.217,0:03:06.199
dietary restrictions,

0:03:06.199,0:03:08.701
and also just different options

0:03:08.701,0:03:10.579
that rotate throughout the week,

0:03:10.579,0:03:12.412
so that you don't become bored.

0:03:19.533,0:03:21.254
And let's go ahead and go up

0:03:21.254,0:03:22.414
to the Residence Tower,

0:03:22.414,0:03:24.718
where we can go ahead [br]and take a look at the rooms!

0:03:26.782,0:03:29.510
So now we're standing in front [br]of the resident security desk

0:03:29.510,0:03:31.280
for the International Living [br]/ Learning Centre.

0:03:31.837,0:03:33.826
We provide 24/7 security at

0:03:33.826,0:03:36.900
all of our residence buildings,[br]with ILLC included within that.

0:03:36.900,0:03:39.121
So we usually, during the school year,

0:03:39.121,0:03:41.612
have a student member[br]during the school day

0:03:41.612,0:03:43.008
located here at this desk,

0:03:43.008,0:03:44.281
who is able to help you with mail,

0:03:44.281,0:03:47.921
packages, or anything else [br]that you may need during your stay

0:03:47.921,0:03:49.596
including signing in guests.

0:03:50.311,0:03:51.940
They will go ahead and allow you

0:03:51.940,0:03:54.614
to go ahead and scan [br]your residence ID right here

0:03:54.614,0:03:57.420
before you go ahead[br]and take the elevator bank

0:03:57.420,0:03:59.261
up to see the Residence Tower.

0:03:59.355,0:04:01.012
Let's go ahead and take a look!

0:04:03.185,0:04:04.141
(elevator beeps)

0:04:04.458,0:04:06.269
Alright, so right now we're just

0:04:06.269,0:04:08.611
stepping onto one of our floors [br]here in ILLC.

0:04:08.611,0:04:10.279
So let's go ahead and take a look

0:04:10.279,0:04:11.471
at what that looks like.

0:04:12.598,0:04:14.967
We have our common lounge [br]when you step out of the elevators,

0:04:15.452,0:04:18.388
which would be a great area [br]for you to go ahead and meet

0:04:18.388,0:04:22.359
for weekly meetings [br]with your Residence Advisor.

0:04:22.575,0:04:25.879
And you can see [br]all these opportunities right here,

0:04:25.879,0:04:28.105
which would usually be located[br]on the calendar.

0:04:28.461,0:04:29.694
So come the school year,

0:04:29.694,0:04:31.475
it is full-to-the-brim

0:04:31.475,0:04:33.419
with everything happening each day.

0:04:33.901,0:04:36.739
Here in ILLC, we also have

0:04:36.739,0:04:39.229
a common lounge area,

0:04:39.229,0:04:41.157
which is fantastic for going ahead

0:04:41.157,0:04:43.115
and fitting all of your cooking needs.

0:04:43.593,0:04:45.710
So even though you're enrolled[br]in the seven-day meal plan

0:04:45.710,0:04:47.628
and have the cafeteria down below,

0:04:47.628,0:04:49.439
just right on the ground level,

0:04:49.439,0:04:51.401
you also can use this at any time

0:04:51.401,0:04:53.044
if you want to cook a late night snack,

0:04:53.044,0:04:56.495
or just store some food,[br]for your own use.

0:05:00.634,0:05:02.275
Let's go ahead now and take a look

0:05:02.490,0:05:04.927
at what some of our room styles [br]look like here.

0:05:05.677,0:05:08.765
Great, so now we're going to go ahead [br]and access ILLC.

0:05:08.765,0:05:10.789
At which you would also use your key,

0:05:10.789,0:05:11.820
insert it right in the door,

0:05:12.052,0:05:13.392
and then take a step in.

0:05:18.000,0:05:21.138
So as you can see,[br]it's a very bright and sunny unit.

0:05:23.795,0:05:26.405
Take a step in and you can take in the view

0:05:27.431,0:05:29.623
which is great, of the downtown.

0:05:33.576,0:05:34.755
Here would be your bed.

0:05:34.921,0:05:37.655
You can go ahead [br]and customize the way you want

0:05:37.823,0:05:40.225
putting a lot of pictures behind you...

0:05:40.607,0:05:43.104
A lot of students like to string up[br]lights in their unit.

0:05:43.604,0:05:46.574
Do anything that makes you feel [br]like you are at home.

0:05:47.189,0:05:49.791
There's also all the furniture [br]that you see here

0:05:49.942,0:05:51.073
included with the unit

0:05:51.406,0:05:54.697
so there would be[br]all of these dressers,

0:05:55.739,0:06:00.099
desks, interesting fun fact [br]that you might not realize

0:06:00.525,0:06:02.336
but this is a corkboard[br]which you can go ahead

0:06:02.488,0:06:04.424
and pin things to.

0:06:04.590,0:06:06.036
If you want to have your calendar,

0:06:06.036,0:06:08.358
reminders, to-do notes,

0:06:08.358,0:06:09.742
anything that might be useful to you.

0:06:10.253,0:06:12.514
Each unit here also comes included

0:06:12.514,0:06:14.188
with air conditioning and heating

0:06:14.188,0:06:17.024
which you can go ahead[br]and change yourself, right here.

0:06:22.888,0:06:26.491
Storage is included [br]on both sides of this unit

0:06:26.724,0:06:28.535
which would allow you lots of space

0:06:28.535,0:06:30.446
to go ahead and hang up your dress shirts,

0:06:30.446,0:06:32.834
or jackets, whatever you may have

0:06:32.834,0:06:34.539
to face the Canadian winters.

0:06:35.207,0:06:38.235
Let's go ahead and take a look [br]at the bathroom unit,

0:06:38.451,0:06:39.461
which is right here.

0:06:40.320,0:06:43.757
So as you can see here, in ILLC [br]you do have your personal bathroom

0:06:43.940,0:06:45.824
which is great for your use.

0:06:46.136,0:06:48.244
It's really nice for the privacy purposes

0:06:48.244,0:06:51.220
of just having this located [br]right inside your unit.

0:06:51.648,0:06:53.022
So if that's something you're looking for,

0:06:53.022,0:06:54.388
it's a very unique set-up

0:06:54.388,0:06:58.145
that is specific to our[br]International Living/Learning Centre.

0:06:58.821,0:07:02.855
Now let's go ahead and take a look at[br]what else ILLC has to offer.

0:07:03.756,0:07:06.904
One more thing that is really close[br]to the resident service desk

0:07:06.904,0:07:08.436
is also your mailbox.

0:07:08.436,0:07:10.232
So if you're living here at ILLC

0:07:10.398,0:07:11.925
you'll go ahead and be assigned a key

0:07:11.925,0:07:13.300
to one of these mailboxes,

0:07:13.497,0:07:15.386
which is great if you want[br]to get snail mail from home.

0:07:15.987,0:07:17.677
I really loved it during my first year,

0:07:17.677,0:07:20.294
getting postcards [br]from family members and friends,

0:07:20.561,0:07:23.557
and it's really convenient too,[br]if you do want packages,

0:07:23.757,0:07:26.674
they're going to be sent [br]to the residence service desk,

0:07:26.674,0:07:28.841
where you can go ahead[br]and get those for pick-up.

0:07:32.538,0:07:34.857
Alright, so now we'll be [br]heading outside of ILLC.

0:07:34.991,0:07:37.101
Once again, thank you so much

0:07:37.101,0:07:39.575
for visiting us on this tour of ILLC.

0:07:39.791,0:07:41.602
We do also have double rooms,

0:07:41.602,0:07:43.712
which we're not currently showing off[br]during this tour,

0:07:43.712,0:07:46.516
but we do have diagrams [br]which are available

0:07:46.516,0:07:48.040
and we'll be posting right now.

0:07:48.757,0:07:50.285
So just to recap,

0:07:50.653,0:07:53.056
We have our 'Single' bedroom,

0:07:53.056,0:07:54.833
and we have our 'Double' bedrooms

0:07:54.999,0:07:56.823
which are available within ILLC.

0:07:57.239,0:07:59.851
All of these units come [br]with a 7-day meal plan,

0:07:59.851,0:08:03.683
which can go ahead[br]and be used at the ILLC cafeteria

0:08:03.816,0:08:05.205
located on the grounds level,

0:08:05.377,0:08:10.012
or also at the Pitman cafeteria,[br]if you wish to switch things up.

0:08:10.394,0:08:13.267
We also have a lot of really great space

0:08:13.267,0:08:16.722
in the common lounge to go ahead[br]and spend with your Residence Advisor

0:08:16.722,0:08:18.744
and Academic Link [br]for different programming

0:08:19.095,0:08:22.016
and this building is home [br]to Living Learning communities

0:08:22.016,0:08:24.756
including Entrepreneurship and Innovation,

0:08:24.955,0:08:27.201
as well as Fashion.

0:08:27.460,0:08:29.137
Thank you so much for tuning in,

0:08:29.137,0:08:31.030
and we hope to see you in our next video.

0:08:31.030,0:08:32.038
Take care!
