<p>Since freshmen can’t have cars it may not matter if the trails are 15 minutes away or 3-4 hours away.
The closest hilly hiking trail to Vanderbilt is at Radnor Lake. There are 3 separate walking/hiking trail but no bouldering. It’s a beautiful area that is either a state or at least a city park. It is between 15-20 minutes from Vanderbilt depending on traffic and lights. The length of the trails are between 2.5 -4 miles long. I bet you can find some more info and perhaps photos online.
If you are able to find an upperclassman with a car, this won’t be a problem for you.</p>
