Brown College at Monroe Hill is a residential college at the University of Virginia, United States.
Originally named Monroe Hill College, Brown opened in 1986 as the first modern residential college at the University of Virginia. It was renamed Brown College at Monroe Hill in recognition of the endowment donated by the Brown family (of the Brown-Forman Corporation) in 1994. The college is led by a Principal of the College and a Director of Studies. About fifty faculty fellows from many departments and schools of the university maintain close ties to the college.
The college is arranged by buildings called portals (the portals are as follows: Davis, Smith, Mallet, Long, Venable, Gildersleeve, McGuffey, Harrison, Tucker, Holmes, Rogers, and Peters). Each portal houses approximately 24 students and all twelve are connected by tunnels.
