Change from Student Visa to Tourist Visa

Problem / Need advice

I came to Hawaii a week ago with the goal of learning English through the Nice program at UH.
I managed to get two months off and applied to the school and was told to get a student visa, which I did as instructed.
I went to the school for 2 days, but I just can't get used to the atmosphere of the school. I don't like the content of the lessons.
I have asked about transferring to a language school in Waikiki, but since the I-20 is issued by UH, the school I want to go to （ does not require a student visa and cannot be the source of the I-20 ） I think I need to change my visa status in order to transfer to
. I think you need to change your visa status to transfer to a different school.
Please advise if anyone knows how a person who entered on a student visa can cancel the student visa and stay for less than 2 months.

The expiration of the I-20 is a more serious problem than the F1 visa.
If you do not attend school and do not transfer your I-20,
the school will report you to the Immigration Office.
Basically, if you want to change your status from F1 to B2, you need to ask a lawyer.
If you don't attend school until your status is complete, they will report you.
You will be deported.

Dear Mystery

Thank you for your comment. First of all, a correction and apology: it was Help, not Nice.
You are right. I chose UH from the language programs of several schools in Hawaii that were recommended by a Japanese study abroad agent. It was written in the enrollment registration that I should get a student visa regardless of the length of my stay. I was told by a UH representative that I would need an I-20 from another school in order to transfer, so I visited several other schools, but the ones that issued I-20s had only 15 to 20 students per class, which was not the case for me. The schools that issued I-20s had between 15 and 20 students per class, and most of the classes at my level were Japanese. I thought this was not desirable from the standpoint of infection prevention, and there were few opportunities for students to speak up, which was the same as studying in Japan. The only English school in Waikiki that had a small class size of up to 8 students per class and few Japanese was an English school in Waikiki that did not issue I-20s. I also talked to a Japanese agent, but he told me that since I had already entered Japan once with a student visa, I would have to get my I-20 back and transfer to another school. I don't want to cause any more trouble for those around me, and I don't want to waste my remaining few days in Japan, so I will return to the UH program.
Thank you for your opinion.
