There can only be one winner of this prestigious prize and we are back with the winners from the last two rounds.

It is finally time to decide who will be crowned smallest and best box room in Newcastle!

JJ Roberts, Third Year, Economics

Winning 65 per cent of the vote in round one.

Where?

Shortridge Terrace, Jesmond.

Why did you get the box room?

I ended up with my room because my housemates are bigger and scarier than me.

Three words to describe your room:

Little boys room.

What does it mean to be nominated?

Definitely one of the highlights of my university life.

Declan Horrox, Postgrad, Accounting

Winning 55 per cent of the vote in round two.

Declan has had to move out of his room due to his head and toes both touching the wall.

Where?

Cavendish Place, Jesmond.

Why did you get the box room?

We chose rooms from the Open Golf last July, I picked the favourite and he came last out of five golfers.

Three words to describe your room:

Mouldy love box.

What does it mean to be nominated?

Honestly, I'm thrilled. When I moved into the room, I thought nothing good could come of it, but I'm glad to see after the months of hardship in that room, I've been rewarded with a nomination like this.
