Here's what Jim Cramer had to say about some of the stocks that students offered up during the "Mad Money Lightning Round" Wednesday evening on the campus of Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Mass.:

FreightCar America(RAIL Quote): "I prefer Trinity(TRN Quote) to RAIL. ... You are starting to talk about a deep cyclical stock." Cramer then played the cash register-ringing sound effect.

Dentsply(XRAY Quote): "Perfect stock for this environment. Does not need the economy to do well ... growing at 13%, sells at 22 times earnings."

Triad Hospitals(TRI Quote): "Triad's good, but I have always been scared of trying to make a bet on a buyout when the fundamentals are just OK. ... I wouldn't load the boat up."

Wells Fargo(WFC Quote): "If housing is so bad, why is one of the largest mortgage companies doing so well ... hitting a 52-week high? ... My favorite bank stock."

Jefferies(JEF Quote): "An unknown stock to people ... this company is the sleeping brokerage stock, along with Knight(NITE Quote). ... Jefferies and Knight are both very cheap."

Lehman Brothers(LEH Quote): "How bout to the moon?" Cramer replied when asked where Lehman was going. He also likes Goldman Sachs(GS Quote) and Merrill(MER Quote). "These stocks are so overlooked here," Cramer said.

Electronic Arts(ERTS Quote): "That stock is going to 75 because you and I both know that nothing beats NFL Street, except for NBA Street!"

Centex(CTX Quote): "Not my favorite homebuilder. ... KB Homes(KBH Quote) reports on Friday ... expectations are so low on the homebuilders that you can own them and not be worried." Cramer concluded that Centex was OK, though.

Cramer also was bullish on Sunrise Senior Living (SRZ Quote).
