I’m about your size (5′ and 105lbs), and I have a rebel. I could not flatfoot the ninja 250, but I’m about 2 inches shorter than you. The ninja was my first choice when I was looking for a bike, but I wanted a bit more of my foot on the ground. I wasn’t sure at the time how much I could get out of shaving the seat down. Go out to your local dealerships and sit on as many bikes as you can. See what feels comfortable.
Best of luck in your class, and happy shopping!
