To not have a room for DD?

We're moving and my DD is graduating university and not moving with us. I have three younger kids. I can either have the two boys share a room and have an empty room for an office that's used as a bedroom for DD when she comes to visit. Or the two boys could have their own bedrooms like my younger daughter. What would you do?

@NeedCoffeeNowPlease can definitely see what you mean. Especially as many people move away from home now, fair enough they live a close distance but not unreasonable that you'd have a room in a parent's house if you need it!! It doesn't have to be a room 'just' for you but spare room, sofa bed etc. At the daughters age she's still very young and not nice to feel homeless in between graduating and renting.

Yes, that's what I mean. It's not about having a dedicated extra room or finding the funds to afford five bedrooms plus office. A personal space to crash doesn't have to be designed as a bedroom specifically if the space can be used flexibly. Sure it's nice to have a proper bedroom to offer but for those of us who aren't rich, sometimes creative thinking can solve the issue.

@NeedCoffeeNowPlease I'm open to places that have extra space, but I'm not finding that in four bedrooms in close to DH's work.

I was given the biggest room with two single beds with the understanding if my elder sister came to stay we shared.
