What I am trying to do:
I am managing a class server and I want to allow all of the users to save their work to their home directories. I do not want users to be able to view other users home directories except for sudo users.
I believe this can be accomplished by doing the following
chmod -R 700 user1/
Is this the correct way to accomplish this?

Use sudo chmod 750 /home/$USER so the files inside don't pick up those permission but stops non-owners from accessing home folders
