Rensselaer Tutoring FAQ
Rensselaer, New York, is a city within Rensselaer County, and is located opposite of Albany on the Hudson River. It was first settled in 1628, and it has enjoyed a rich industrial and railroad history. The Rensselaer area had a brewery and several farms by 1642. It was finally incorporated in 1897, and now is home to around 9,000 residents.
Students in the city attend Rensselaer Junior/Senior High School, which is run by the Rensselaer City School District. Getting to Albany from Rensselaer is extremely easy, and it only takes about five minutes by bike or car. There, you'll find many excellent colleges and universities, which includes The University at Albany-SUNY, Binghamton University, and Stony Brook University. The personal test prep instruction you can get from online or in-home private Rensselaer, NY, tutoring might give you an edge to get into the best schools.

You'll find several charming and quaint locations to visit in Rensselaer, and there are even more areas to explore in the communities surrounding it. One of Rensselaer's educational spots to check out is the Crailo State Historic Site, which is a museum that outlines the history of early Dutch settlers. The museum's basement walls trace their origin back to 1660, making it one of the oldest structures in the region. Tours are offered, and it gives a believable look into a pre-British colonial home. Another destination to investigate is Regal Cinemas East Greenbush 8, which is an ideal place to see the latest movies.

A New Beginning Consignment Shop is also worth visiting if you like to shop, and there, you can find anything from women's clothing to Irish jewelry and antiques. The quality of its items is superb, and the merchandise is curated before it is permitted to enter the sales floor. Just across the Hudson River, you'll find Albany and the New York State Capital, which is always worth a visit. This unique looking building is a majestic testament to late 19th-century architecture, and it took 5 architects over 32 years to complete.
