Education Expenses - Tuition vs Other Expenses in interview detail

Working on Education expenses. I'm currently on "Enter (name) Education Expenses" page. I previously entered my 1098-T box 1 amount of $9095 which shows as "Tuition and Enrollment Fees".  I see "Room and Board" as another line item, so based on my understanding that the 1098-T does not include room and board, I was going to enter the appropriate amount ($3532) based on my detailed billing statement. It appears that these values will be added to come up with a total education expense. So, in my case, if I add the room & board amount of $3532 to the 1098-T amount of $9095, the sum exceeds the grand total which I paid to the university last year ($9468). That is leading me to believe there is more than just "tuition" in my 1098-T amount. Am I interpreting this incorrectly?
