Cartagena in August busy with parties, college students?

Hello, we are planning a trip to CTG sometime around middle of August. What's it like during that time, anything like end of June/early July with college students on break, or does it die down already by then? Thank you

If you're talking about American college students, Cartagena isn't exactly the next South Padre Island. The nice beaches without the pesky vendors are a ways outside of the main town.

Depends on which schedule, A or B, they are on. Low season starts roughly mid August

I went to Cartagena for the first time in mid August. It was quite a bit slower than the other times I've been.
