Copying projects from one computer to another

All,

We have materials studio set up on a computer cluster at university. It would be useful for the students to be able to download their work, move it between computers and use it on their laptops.

I believe that the default directory for projects in on the C drive. Do students have to manually set a different directory (for example their P: drive associated with their roaming profile)? Is there a recommended way of setting up MS on a cluster that will be accessed by users with a roaming profile?

On a slightly different note, If a job has been set up on the cluster and  a calculation set off our remote server can the same student access the job from their own laptop (with MS installed)? If so how?
