Room and board (rent) is not a qualified education expense so cannot be used as such.

Q. Can I claim the dollar amount I paid for my college student's rent?

A. No.

 

Room and board is only a qualified expense for a 529 or ESA distribution. Even then, there are some limitations for off campus living.
