I would say it's definitely cheaper than Dublin. It's small enough and easy to get around. It's best point and it's worst point is that is a small place. After 4 and a half years that kind of got to me a bit. I can't say I miss the place having moved away 2 months ago for Edinburgh. That said though a bag of cans down by the river of a hot summer's day takes some beating
Where is the University located? Is it in town? If one worked there and lived close to the city centre could they easily get around without a car?
In some ways, Galway is like a quasi-hippie theme park in Summer when the arts festival is on.

The smallness thing..well, put it this way, if you frequent a few spots in Dublin city (and most people end up with a small geographical, social sphere that they tend to inhabit) you end up seeing all the same faces all the time anyway, think of Galway as the same.
