No, room and board is not reported on 1098-T and is not an eligible education expense for the education credits; HOWEVER, if you received certain unrestricted tax-free assistance, such as a scholarship or distributions from a college savings account, you could apply those tax-free funds to room and board, therefor freeing up expenses to be applied to a credit.
You will report the expense of room and board on a different screen, not on the 1098-T.
