If you say "ichinensei desu", most Japanese including myself will think that you are a first-grader (in elementary school) . You may want to say "daigaku 1-nensei" just to be precise.

One more thing. We don't really say "nihongo o benkyo shimasu" in this case. We would say "shiteimasu" instead of "shimasu" if you're currently studying it. What you said is gramatically correct but it sounds just a little bit 'foreign' to the Japanese ear.

Sorry if corrections weren't expected here. これからもがんばってください!
