Rochdale College
Alternative education project in Toronto / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the former Rochdale College in Toronto. For the one in Manchester, England, UK, see Rochdale Sixth Form College.
Rochdale College was an experiment in student-run alternative education and co-operative living in Toronto, Canada from 1968 to 1975. It provided space for 840 residents in a co-operative living space. It was also an informal, noncredited free university where students and teachers would live together and share knowledge. The project ultimately failed when it could not cover its financing and neighbours complained that it had become a haven for drugs and crime.
