Not that you have to do it this way, but I think the only students in a "commons" of sorts would be the scholarship students. Royalty would merit their own rooms, I think.

Well, one of the points of the Academy is to promote the thoughts of equality, that's why everyone may share rooms like this and the rooms changed every year. To ensure the maximum social interaction between the girls. If royalty got their own rooms, it would defeat the point.
