Answer 1

The weather should be quite pleasant in September and you will have plenty of time to buy clothes here.

You will need rain gear for fall and spring and a snow jacket and snow boots that you are unlikely to find in the Bahamas. People usually dress in multiple layers.

Someone Canadian on the spot is your best bet for help. You can find them in Frosh week, or ask an advisor for help.
