No, the room and board is *included* in the 11185.48 listed on 1098-T. Is this a mistake on the school's part? (I didn't overlook a $5k out of pocket expense!)
Since this was her first semester this is only a half-year cost. Tuition and fees is approx $6800. Board is supposed to be $2189 per semester and room $3000 per semester.
The only expenses I haven't listed would be cost of staying at home for part of the semester and the grandparents' cost to buy the computer (which was indeed purchased for school and was 1300 if memory holds).
