The street parties have been an ongoing problem in the area near the university’s Studley Campus.
Several arrests were made last year after one man was stabbed and several people were injured at a large street party in the same neighbourhood.
Dalhousie has scheduled official homecoming events next weekend. Because it is Thanksgiving weekend and many students will be away, some students decided to organize unsanctioned street parties this weekend.
Police urged members of the public to avoid the area because of the size of the crowds. As of Sunday at 7 p.m., there was still a large police presence in the area.
