I can't get a straight answer out of my schools financial aid department (it's all students working there who are utterly clueless) so I'm hoping someone here can shed some light for me

I attend a state college, University of Wisconsin to be exact. Or I did anyways, until I decided to drop out two days into the semester (long story as to why)

Anyways, my tuition and fees were paid with financial aid. Since I dropped my classes, I show a negative balance in my account, reflecting that the financial aid will be withdrawn. I'm told this money will go right back to the financial aid services I used, which is great, no worries there.

However, before deciding to drop out, the refund I received personally after the tuition and fees, I already spent on supplies for the semester when I was still intent on attending. That money is already spent. Now one would figure beyond a nominal fee for dropping out (which should be around $100 from what I've read) that the extra amount I already spent would just be added onto my student loan debt. Which is again, totally fine and understandable

However, one of the (possibly clueless) students working at the financial aid office told me that the spent amount would instead be reflected as an amount I owe the school directly for some reason, so I'd have another monthly bill to pay off, potentially a couple thousand dollars, that I have to pay the school directly instead of just adding it to my student loan debt.

Is there any truth to this? Again, I can't trust the financial aid office because every day I call there I get a new answer. So does anyone have experience with this and can tell me directly is this what will indeed happen? If so, it's be cheaper for me to take two bullshit classes and ride out the semester (even though I can't) just to avoid going into enormous debt trying to make two separate payments while I'm already living paycheck to paycheck. And I need to know by Friday as that's the last day to potentially add two bs classes to ride out the semester if need be

Reddit, please help. Thank you
