Is gas considered a school expense if I had to drive long distances for class?

I was shipped off to another city for clinicals that was 3 hours away from my school but I had to drive to campus 3 times for class. Is the gas money a qualified education expense? Thanks!

No, gas (and other transportation costs) do not count as a qualified education expense.
