I'll get this review started Kingsif (talk) 03:53, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

At first read, the impression is that this is poorly structured and written.
Extraneous wikilinks throughout
Was Produced by Heritage Film Project | Color and Black and White | HD | 50 min. | 16:9 copied direct from IMDb? Using lines like that is not generally accepted prose on Wikipedia.
- The actual prose part of the awfully-named "Documentaries and Other Media" section is also poor in that it contains two things: a film synopsis and a brief sentence for relating the film to the college - which is just restating that it is Brown College on Monroe Hill at the University of Virginia.
The (entirely unreferenced) Activities section reads like an advertisement.
The timeline could easily be in prose.
Fail stopping before getting into detail

Just from reading the one source attributing the History wall, I can see that there's a lot more on the history and the main building than the article contains. This information is in a source that's been cherrypicked for the article, why is it not included?
On the other hand, some of the things mentioned thereafter seem trivial. If things like the quirky essay questions and social events were expanded on, their inclusion wouldn't seem so misplaced.
Fail gaps

The sources seem generally good, if inconsistently formatted.
However, there are a few dead links
About half the article is unreferenced.
The source currently [16] only establishes the titles Grand Poobah and Shama Llama Ding Dong, it does not mention anything else it is supposedly attributing.
Fail

This is very far from meeting the GA criteria. Kingsif (talk) 05:01, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
