When I open a script in Unity it opens it in Visual Studio

This isn't really a problem, but I'd like to know why and how to change it to monodevelopment.

Modern releases of Unity ship with Visual Studio and use it as the default code editor. If you would like to change this, then in Unity go to Edit > Preferences > External Tools > External Script Editor to select another option such as MonoDevelop.
