I studied abroad at Nanzan University in Nagoya, Japan during the Summer of 2023. Does the flight to Japan, along with certain living expenses counted as tax deductible?

Payment of the flight, overseas tuition, room and board, and various other living expenses were mostly paid out of my own pocket or a private loan I took as a scholarship I obtained fell through. What, if any, am I allowed to mark as tax deductible for education expenses?

Travel and room and board are not qualified education expenses. Tuition for education credit is only available for attendance at an eligible education institution.
