Can I claim the rent taken out of my Disney paychecks as college expenses?

Last spring I completed the Disney College Internship Program (paid) and they took $85/ week out of my paycheck for rent. I am filing online and just wasn't sure if I can add that to college expenses. I don't exactly have documentation readily available as you could only see that on my pay stubs which I can't access online anymore since I'm no longer employed by Walt Disney World.

    No, room and board (or any kind of living expense) is NOT a deductible expense. Whether you live at home and commute, or choose to "live on campus", you cannot deduct living expenses.
