I am begginning a scentence as follows: Secondly, we students don't have enough time to... Is the we correct or should it be us?

Presumably, by the time you reach "Secondly" you should have established that you are talking about students, so I would say, Secondly, we don't have....
Other words for stay: like to remain indoors.
and fun: we had some great times.
The key to writing is to keep it simple. If you put in too many big words to replace obvious ones like stay and fun, your reader is going to pick up on it and it won't seem as natural.
The less words you use to get your point across the better. Mark Twain or someone on his level said something like that.

Ok, first of all: You misspelled "begginning" (it's beginning) and also "scentence" (it's sentence).
"We" students is correct, not us.
Instead of "stay" use "remain."

you can say Secondly, we as students do not have enough time to.... (try to stay from don't can't etc... contractions i think theyare called... can not do not etc would be way better if your writing an essay)

when in doubt, consult the dictionary, or thesaurus.
Secondly, consult the proper english handbook
Well, anyway, that is what MY teachers always told me.

i think it should be "us students", and remain would be a substitute to stay don't you think
