I maybe apply to NOVA IMS for a data science degree in Lisbon but thinking of living out of Lisbon to reduce my cost budget.
so which one will be better Almada or Setubal by these conditions
1- find a job as I will work in my free time ( any job just get money help me in studying like casher barman restaurant hotel ....... also I have a degree in road engineering and will have PMP but I do not want job affect on my study time)
2- can play some sports like football yoga volleyball handball
3- good in public transportation

or live in Lisbon as finding the job easy and better in other aspects

Nova IMS is located in Lisbon, in the Campolide neighbourhood. Therefore, Almada is better. It has a train (Fertagus) with connections to the Lisbon underground. For sports, in Almada there are many options. You can also find work in Lisbon or Almada, in those sectors you have mentioned. Setubal also has a direct train to Lisbon, but it is far away on a daily basis: 50 km x 2 trips, and takes much longer.

You can ask your questions in this thread, you don't need to open a new one. Try idealista website, for T0 (no bedroom) or T1 (one bedroom) typology.

I can confirm that Almada is pretty good. For the first 6 weeks after arriving in Portugal we stayed in a T1 in Cacilhas Guest Apartments, which was very nice. Easy ferry ride over to Cais de Sodre and lots of restaurant nearby.
