title: Android Studio: Default project directory
body: <p>Whenever I create a new project in <code>Android Studio</code> it wants to put it in a generic default folder at a location something similar to (dependent on OS - Ubuntu here):</p>
  
  <pre><code>/home/USER/AndroidStudioProjects/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to change this directory to another location. Besides selecting this new location on the creation of every project, is there a setting (couldn't find) or <code>path variable</code> (couldn't find any documentation) that can set this directory (say <code>/home/USER/Projects/AndroidStudio/</code>) as the default?</p>
  
  <p>Something similar to changing the workspace in Eclipse is what I am looking for.</p>
