are these search engine friendly urls?

I;m writing a system from a scratch would like to know if google and yahoo will be able to pickup urls like this:

collegeprofile.php?mainprofile=Harvard_univesrsity
collegeprofile.php?photogallery=Harvard_univesrsit y
collegeprofile.php?statistics=Harvard_univesrsity

Sure, they'll be able to pick them up easily enough example (http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aforumuniversity.com). However, it is part of an ever lasting debate as to whether or not they are friendly. Most people are generally going for the fact that .php? extensions are not as highly rated by google compared to something like college/main/Harvard or college/stats/Harvard.

Personally, I tend to try and go for the second scenario if I can, also for the security it provides. :)
