The PLUS Center is located on the campus of Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, one of the city’s most creative and inspiring boroughs. The PLUS Center at Pratt Institute offers students an authentic American college experience in a world-renowned art and design environment, just minutes from the heart of Manhattan.
Pratt’s campus is situated in the charming Clinton Hill neighbourhood — a vibrant, tree-lined area known for its historic brownstone architecture, local cafés, and creative energy. The area provides a welcoming and safe environment while being ideally positioned for students to explore all that New York City has to offer.
Manhattan is easily accessible from the Pratt campus, with several nearby subway stations providing a direct connection to Lower Manhattan in approximately 20–25 minutes. This convenient access allows students to enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful, green residential campus and the excitement of the city just a short ride away.
On campus, students can experience a beautifully landscaped, park-like setting — a rare oasis within the city. Pratt is home to impressive facilities, including modern studios, exhibition spaces, and athletic amenities. The dining hall offers a wide selection of meals to suit all tastes, from fresh salads and international cuisine to traditional American favourites, all served in a contemporary dining environment.
Beyond campus life, Brooklyn offers countless opportunities to explore culture, art, and entertainment — from the nearby Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park to the lively markets and music venues that make the borough one of New York’s most creative hubs.
