 Located in Hartford, Connecticut
Rensselaer at Hartford is housed in its own eight-story building on fifteen landscaped acres in downtown Hartford. The Hartford region offers many unique benefits.
Quality of Life
The MetroHartford Region enjoys both a very comfortable standard of living and a vibrant quality of life. You can take advantage of a wide array of entertainment and cultural activities: spectator sports, theatres, museums, galleries, parks, water sports, skiing, golf, and more. The MetroHartford region provides ready access to outstanding medical and health care facilities.
Transportation
One of MetroHartford's greatest advantages is its first-class highway system. Two major interstates, I-91 and I-84 intersect in Hartford. Both I-84 and I-91 link the region to I-90, which extends east to Boston and west through upstate New York. I-91 stretches north into Canada and south to New Haven. I-95 ventures east and west from New Haven, providing access to Rhode Island and New York City. Boston and New York City are each approximately a two-hour drive from Hartford.
Bradley International Airport, New England's
second largest airport, is located just 15 minutes north of
downtown Hartford.
