So, what's the difference between a bedroom, a master room and a common room? The latter sounds like it is used by all persons living in an appartment.  Yet it is on offer to rent in a shared appartment...  :huh:

One is where you put the bed, the second is where you put the boss and the third one is where everyone else gets to hang out.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Master bedroom is the biggest bedroom.  Never heard of master room.  Common room is usually only used in a university setting, like on a dormitory floor there will be a common room with a TV in it.

Master Room is usually a small room attached to the master bedroom. Sometimes with its own bathroom.

So you won't have to mingle with your roommates much.

The English question?  How about resettling them in Madagascar?

As I would understand it....

- Master Bedroom = Larger bedroom with it's own adjoining private bathroom.
- Bedroom = Just a bedroom
- Common Room= If in a private house, perhaps an alternate to a family room/game/rec room.  Sort of like a perhaps smaller, less-used Living room.  But as others said, in a domitory, the shared area among various dorm rooms.
