1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,020
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:34,601 --> 00:00:37,083
- So right now we're standing 
right in front of our

3
00:00:37,083 --> 00:00:38,946
International Living/Learning Center

4
00:00:39,031 --> 00:00:40,016
or 'ILLC' for short.

5
00:00:41,029 --> 00:00:43,341
Although the title includes 
'International' in the name,

6
00:00:43,341 --> 00:00:44,499
it doesn't mean that you need to be

7
00:00:44,499 --> 00:00:46,361
an 'international student' to apply here.

8
00:00:46,361 --> 00:00:49,349
can still be 'domestic' and from Canada
and still be considered.

9
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:51,938
We're going to check out 
two different room styles today,

10
00:00:52,103 --> 00:00:53,894
which is the 'Single' and the 'Double.'

11
00:00:54,312 --> 00:00:56,684
Let's head on inside
and take a look!

12
00:00:57,996 --> 00:01:00,526
(ambient music)

13
00:01:04,326 --> 00:01:06,874
(keys jingle)
(door beeps)

14
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,344
A fun fact about
the International Living/Learning Centre,

15
00:01:18,344 --> 00:01:21,753
is that it used to be a hotel
until it was bought by the university.

16
00:01:22,437 --> 00:01:24,112
So it's a really neat type of room style

17
00:01:24,112 --> 00:01:25,393
which we'll be checking out.

18
00:01:26,750 --> 00:01:29,340
All of the suites in here 
do have bathrooms

19
00:01:29,340 --> 00:01:31,041
which are inside the bedroom units.

20
00:01:31,628 --> 00:01:33,018
So, it's great if you're looking

21
00:01:33,018 --> 00:01:35,394
for a little bit more privacy 
in that regard.

22
00:01:39,547 --> 00:01:41,692
We do have our ILLC lounge 
over to the side,

23
00:01:41,772 --> 00:01:43,588
which is a great area for if you want

24
00:01:43,588 --> 00:01:45,744
to go ahead and do schoolwork 
with friends,

25
00:01:45,744 --> 00:01:49,245
or just want a place to hang out
while you're doing some of your...

26
00:01:49,735 --> 00:01:52,725
daily tasks, working on schoolwork,

27
00:01:52,725 --> 00:01:54,613
or just want to grab a bite to eat.

28
00:01:55,356 --> 00:01:57,106
We also have the cafeteria here

29
00:01:57,106 --> 00:01:58,136
on the ground floor,

30
00:01:58,583 --> 00:02:00,612
which we'll be taking a look at 
in just a moment.

31
00:02:08,131 --> 00:02:12,635
Here is one of the cafeterias
that we offer here at Ryerson Residence.

32
00:02:12,767 --> 00:02:15,669
This one is located 
within the base of ILLC,

33
00:02:15,669 --> 00:02:17,232
but it's open to all students,

34
00:02:17,232 --> 00:02:18,738
across our buildings.

35
00:02:18,738 --> 00:02:20,038
So no matter where you're living,

36
00:02:20,038 --> 00:02:21,843
you can still go ahead and access here.

37
00:02:22,443 --> 00:02:24,667
We have drink machines here on the side,

38
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,463
lots of space for eating.

39
00:02:27,169 --> 00:02:29,487
And then we have a sign right here,

40
00:02:29,636 --> 00:02:32,968
dedicated to how we really 
support local foods

41
00:02:32,968 --> 00:02:35,063
and incorporate that into our processes.

42
00:02:36,586 --> 00:02:38,917
So here in ILLC if you are 
living in this building,

43
00:02:39,034 --> 00:02:40,859
you would be enrolled 
in the seven-day meal plan.

44
00:02:40,931 --> 00:02:44,837
However, students in the 5-day
meal plan, or also the 'Flex' option,

45
00:02:44,837 --> 00:02:48,467
just having dollars loaded
onto their account in a declining balance,

46
00:02:48,467 --> 00:02:50,344
would also be able to access this.

47
00:02:50,735 --> 00:02:54,604
As you can see right here, 
we usually have a salad and soup bar.

48
00:02:55,569 --> 00:02:58,726
We have hot options,
which are provided on a daily basis.

49
00:02:59,409 --> 00:03:01,695
And then we also have 
a lot of different factors

50
00:03:01,695 --> 00:03:04,217
which go into consideration
for allergies,

51
00:03:04,217 --> 00:03:06,199
dietary restrictions,

52
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:08,701
and also just different options

53
00:03:08,701 --> 00:03:10,579
that rotate throughout the week,

54
00:03:10,579 --> 00:03:12,412
so that you don't become bored.

55
00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:21,254
And let's go ahead and go up

56
00:03:21,254 --> 00:03:22,414
to the Residence Tower,

57
00:03:22,414 --> 00:03:24,718
where we can go ahead 
and take a look at the rooms!

58
00:03:26,782 --> 00:03:29,510
So now we're standing in front 
of the resident security desk

59
00:03:29,510 --> 00:03:31,280
for the International Living 
/ Learning Centre.

60
00:03:31,837 --> 00:03:33,826
We provide 24/7 security at

61
00:03:33,826 --> 00:03:36,900
all of our residence buildings,
with ILLC included within that.

62
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:39,121
So we usually, during the school year,

63
00:03:39,121 --> 00:03:41,612
have a student member
during the school day

64
00:03:41,612 --> 00:03:43,008
located here at this desk,

65
00:03:43,008 --> 00:03:44,281
who is able to help you with mail,

66
00:03:44,281 --> 00:03:47,921
packages, or anything else 
that you may need during your stay

67
00:03:47,921 --> 00:03:49,596
including signing in guests.

68
00:03:50,311 --> 00:03:51,940
They will go ahead and allow you

69
00:03:51,940 --> 00:03:54,614
to go ahead and scan 
your residence ID right here

70
00:03:54,614 --> 00:03:57,420
before you go ahead
and take the elevator bank

71
00:03:57,420 --> 00:03:59,261
up to see the Residence Tower.

72
00:03:59,355 --> 00:04:01,012
Let's go ahead and take a look!

73
00:04:03,185 --> 00:04:04,141
(elevator beeps)

74
00:04:04,458 --> 00:04:06,269
Alright, so right now we're just

75
00:04:06,269 --> 00:04:08,611
stepping onto one of our floors 
here in ILLC.

76
00:04:08,611 --> 00:04:10,279
So let's go ahead and take a look

77
00:04:10,279 --> 00:04:11,471
at what that looks like.

78
00:04:12,598 --> 00:04:14,967
We have our common lounge 
when you step out of the elevators,

79
00:04:15,452 --> 00:04:18,388
which would be a great area 
for you to go ahead and meet

80
00:04:18,388 --> 00:04:22,359
for weekly meetings 
with your Residence Advisor.

81
00:04:22,575 --> 00:04:25,879
And you can see 
all these opportunities right here,

82
00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:28,105
which would usually be located
on the calendar.

83
00:04:28,461 --> 00:04:29,694
So come the school year,

84
00:04:29,694 --> 00:04:31,475
it is full-to-the-brim

85
00:04:31,475 --> 00:04:33,419
with everything happening each day.

86
00:04:33,901 --> 00:04:36,739
Here in ILLC, we also have

87
00:04:36,739 --> 00:04:39,229
a common lounge area,

88
00:04:39,229 --> 00:04:41,157
which is fantastic for going ahead

89
00:04:41,157 --> 00:04:43,115
and fitting all of your cooking needs.

90
00:04:43,593 --> 00:04:45,710
So even though you're enrolled
in the seven-day meal plan

91
00:04:45,710 --> 00:04:47,628
and have the cafeteria down below,

92
00:04:47,628 --> 00:04:49,439
just right on the ground level,

93
00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:51,401
you also can use this at any time

94
00:04:51,401 --> 00:04:53,044
if you want to cook a late night snack,

95
00:04:53,044 --> 00:04:56,495
or just store some food,
for your own use.

96
00:05:00,634 --> 00:05:02,275
Let's go ahead now and take a look

97
00:05:02,490 --> 00:05:04,927
at what some of our room styles 
look like here.

98
00:05:05,677 --> 00:05:08,765
Great, so now we're going to go ahead 
and access ILLC.

99
00:05:08,765 --> 00:05:10,789
At which you would also use your key,

100
00:05:10,789 --> 00:05:11,820
insert it right in the door,

101
00:05:12,052 --> 00:05:13,392
and then take a step in.

102
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,138
So as you can see,
it's a very bright and sunny unit.

103
00:05:23,795 --> 00:05:26,405
Take a step in and you can take in the view

104
00:05:27,431 --> 00:05:29,623
which is great, of the downtown.

105
00:05:33,576 --> 00:05:34,755
Here would be your bed.

106
00:05:34,921 --> 00:05:37,655
You can go ahead 
and customize the way you want

107
00:05:37,823 --> 00:05:40,225
putting a lot of pictures behind you...

108
00:05:40,607 --> 00:05:43,104
A lot of students like to string up
lights in their unit.

109
00:05:43,604 --> 00:05:46,574
Do anything that makes you feel 
like you are at home.

110
00:05:47,189 --> 00:05:49,791
There's also all the furniture 
that you see here

111
00:05:49,942 --> 00:05:51,073
included with the unit

112
00:05:51,406 --> 00:05:54,697
so there would be
all of these dressers,

113
00:05:55,739 --> 00:06:00,099
desks, interesting fun fact 
that you might not realize

114
00:06:00,525 --> 00:06:02,336
but this is a corkboard
which you can go ahead

115
00:06:02,488 --> 00:06:04,424
and pin things to.

116
00:06:04,590 --> 00:06:06,036
If you want to have your calendar,

117
00:06:06,036 --> 00:06:08,358
reminders, to-do notes,

118
00:06:08,358 --> 00:06:09,742
anything that might be useful to you.

119
00:06:10,253 --> 00:06:12,514
Each unit here also comes included

120
00:06:12,514 --> 00:06:14,188
with air conditioning and heating

121
00:06:14,188 --> 00:06:17,024
which you can go ahead
and change yourself, right here.

122
00:06:22,888 --> 00:06:26,491
Storage is included 
on both sides of this unit

123
00:06:26,724 --> 00:06:28,535
which would allow you lots of space

124
00:06:28,535 --> 00:06:30,446
to go ahead and hang up your dress shirts,

125
00:06:30,446 --> 00:06:32,834
or jackets, whatever you may have

126
00:06:32,834 --> 00:06:34,539
to face the Canadian winters.

127
00:06:35,207 --> 00:06:38,235
Let's go ahead and take a look 
at the bathroom unit,

128
00:06:38,451 --> 00:06:39,461
which is right here.

129
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,757
So as you can see here, in ILLC 
you do have your personal bathroom

130
00:06:43,940 --> 00:06:45,824
which is great for your use.

131
00:06:46,136 --> 00:06:48,244
It's really nice for the privacy purposes

132
00:06:48,244 --> 00:06:51,220
of just having this located 
right inside your unit.

133
00:06:51,648 --> 00:06:53,022
So if that's something you're looking for,

134
00:06:53,022 --> 00:06:54,388
it's a very unique set-up

135
00:06:54,388 --> 00:06:58,145
that is specific to our
International Living/Learning Centre.

136
00:06:58,821 --> 00:07:02,855
Now let's go ahead and take a look at
what else ILLC has to offer.

137
00:07:03,756 --> 00:07:06,904
One more thing that is really close
to the resident service desk

138
00:07:06,904 --> 00:07:08,436
is also your mailbox.

139
00:07:08,436 --> 00:07:10,232
So if you're living here at ILLC

140
00:07:10,398 --> 00:07:11,925
you'll go ahead and be assigned a key

141
00:07:11,925 --> 00:07:13,300
to one of these mailboxes,

142
00:07:13,497 --> 00:07:15,386
which is great if you want
to get snail mail from home.

143
00:07:15,987 --> 00:07:17,677
I really loved it during my first year,

144
00:07:17,677 --> 00:07:20,294
getting postcards 
from family members and friends,

145
00:07:20,561 --> 00:07:23,557
and it's really convenient too,
if you do want packages,

146
00:07:23,757 --> 00:07:26,674
they're going to be sent 
to the residence service desk,

147
00:07:26,674 --> 00:07:28,841
where you can go ahead
and get those for pick-up.

148
00:07:32,538 --> 00:07:34,857
Alright, so now we'll be 
heading outside of ILLC.

149
00:07:34,991 --> 00:07:37,101
Once again, thank you so much

150
00:07:37,101 --> 00:07:39,575
for visiting us on this tour of ILLC.

151
00:07:39,791 --> 00:07:41,602
We do also have double rooms,

152
00:07:41,602 --> 00:07:43,712
which we're not currently showing off
during this tour,

153
00:07:43,712 --> 00:07:46,516
but we do have diagrams 
which are available

154
00:07:46,516 --> 00:07:48,040
and we'll be posting right now.

155
00:07:48,757 --> 00:07:50,285
So just to recap,

156
00:07:50,653 --> 00:07:53,056
We have our 'Single' bedroom,

157
00:07:53,056 --> 00:07:54,833
and we have our 'Double' bedrooms

158
00:07:54,999 --> 00:07:56,823
which are available within ILLC.

159
00:07:57,239 --> 00:07:59,851
All of these units come 
with a 7-day meal plan,

160
00:07:59,851 --> 00:08:03,683
which can go ahead
and be used at the ILLC cafeteria

161
00:08:03,816 --> 00:08:05,205
located on the grounds level,

162
00:08:05,377 --> 00:08:10,012
or also at the Pitman cafeteria,
if you wish to switch things up.

163
00:08:10,394 --> 00:08:13,267
We also have a lot of really great space

164
00:08:13,267 --> 00:08:16,722
in the common lounge to go ahead
and spend with your Residence Advisor

165
00:08:16,722 --> 00:08:18,744
and Academic Link 
for different programming

166
00:08:19,095 --> 00:08:22,016
and this building is home 
to Living Learning communities

167
00:08:22,016 --> 00:08:24,756
including Entrepreneurship and Innovation,

168
00:08:24,955 --> 00:08:27,201
as well as Fashion.

169
00:08:27,460 --> 00:08:29,137
Thank you so much for tuning in,

170
00:08:29,137 --> 00:08:31,030
and we hope to see you in our next video.

171
00:08:31,030 --> 00:08:32,038
Take care!
