I went to an engineering college, but those only account for about half the courses. You still have outside courses where you just can't get away from it.
I never took history or social science courses. I took several English classes, and one humanities class (on linguistics--totally apolitical), and when I transferred to university, the English courses all transferred as humanities, so I had to take English again. And for the rest of my general ed, I took foreign language classes. So my academic career was not all that political.
