It depends on how the property has been wired up.
There is nothing to say that you can't have your own private landline in your bedroom separate to any other line in any other bedroom and separate to any landline in communal areas.
It is however likely that all sockets are wired off the same line so any incoming call would ring all phones and of course only one of you would be able to make an outgoing call at any one time.
The only person who can tell you what the actual situation is is whoever owns the property and had the phone line installed. Anything else is simply speculation and could be wildly inaccurate.
