Please take a look at the following sentences.

a. As a student, I need to study hard.
b. Being a student, I need to study hard.

Which one is correct? Or one is more natural than the other? Or both are correct? If so, what is the nuance between them? I do need language experts' opinions. Thank you a lot.
