Well, again - use cd. Or, if you like, put it in a
defun that accepts a username, use that username to
find out the home dir of that user, put it as the
argument to cd. Especially if you know Elisp I can't cd
- I mean see - the problem?

I don't know if there is a standard way of doing it or
if someone else did it before. But it should be so easy
to do so just do it and don't doubt yourself.
