Just one tip I would pass on to other short student pilots speaking as someone 5ft 2 inches 'tall'
you will most likely need a cushion (something I forgot to budget for. .
) to position yourself comfortably in your average spamcan but make sure you stick with the same one throughout your training if possible.
Because I bought a new 'flying cushion' recently about 10hrs into my PPL course and although it is only an inch or so higher than my old one, I have discovered that the outside 'picture' at certain nose attitudes looks significantly different compared to how I memorised them with my old cushion during my earlier lessons.
For example - the level attitude picture with reference to the horizon now looks more like that for the descent attitude as I initially learned it, so I was having difficulty recently with the basics like levelling off accurately and couldn't figure out why!
