Is my second 1098-T worth it?

Hello,

This is my first year filing taxes that I paid my own tuition expenses. I attended two community colleges last year, one of which I only attended a single class. I paid a total of maybe 300-375 dollars for that class. My other 1098-T I paid more. My question is, the school I took only one class with I never got the form from. They said they sent it, but my address on file is correct and I never got it. They refuse to send a new one, and are making me go in person to get it. It’s a 180 mile round trip. So I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth getting. My total school expenses were less than 2,000 last year. I’ve been told that you can get basically dollar for dollar on school expenses, but other people say that’s not the case. Is it worth the drive to get that form for the 350ish dollars? Or should I just let it go and file only the other form. Thanks for your help if you read this.
