No big deal. The wing loading on a Cessna is much lower (about half of a Piper, if memory serves), so the first couple of landings may be a bit, err, different. Other than that, Cessna has more room, two doors, easier to get in/out, generally better viz.

PS: I learned to fly on PA-28/161 and /181s and have mostly flown Cessnas since.
