Hello,
Starting my master’s program this year, any recommendation for where to stay in Lisbon? preferably affordable area
That would depend in part on where you are studying. I am partial to Benfica and Telheiras myself, because they are quieter and greener than many alternatives.
As a start:

.
There are two pousadas in Lisboa.
Usually I stay in the HI in Moscavide, Oriente,
for less then EUR 30 /day.
I have a HI member card, as a senior member.
Rooms with 2x2 beds.
For a longer stay you might get an even better price.
