Do not send them your originals.
Yes, if you are not happy with them, you can leave. Most schools, including mine, have a breach fee of $1000US. However, if you are not happy with them, they have probably breached the contract themselves. If that happens, you are free to go, and free to go NOW. By now, I mean within a day, if you are really unhappy. It is not worth it. The longer you stay, the longer it drags out, and the situation will not get better. As for the breach fee, they will just keep any pay that they owe you. It's not that bad a price to pay if you are in a really bad situation.
Once you are here, there are many places that would be more than willing to help you out.

Good luck,
