Change to a different folder automatically on Linux once you login

How can I change to a different folder, e.g. foo/bar, automatically once I login into a Linux machine?

cd foo/bar

For logging shell you must modify .bash_profile. Simply put cd foo/bar at the end of this file.

With your distro, if .bash_profile does not exist, you can modify .profile instead:

# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.
# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
# exists.

If you want to test it works from a terminal, but logged as another_user, you can do:

su -l user_to_test

The important part is the -l flag:

  -, -l, --login
          Start the shell as a login shell with an environment 
          similar to a real login:
