The Centre is situated on the campus of St. John's University - Queens campus. It provides students with the chance to experience life at an American college in a secure environment located in the heart of Queens, a borough of New York City. Queens, which is one of the largest boroughs in "The City that Never Sleeps", offers a hospitable environment to people from every corner of the world.

The cafeteria is just a short stroll away from the lodging. It is an extensive and up-to-date facility with options for main courses, salads, and desserts.
The picturesque Queens campus can be easily accessed through various modes of transportation, including by car, bus, subway, or air. It is conveniently positioned between JFK and LaGuardia Airports.
