Didn't say anything about being robbed. I think Cuba is one place where you won't have to worry quite so much about robbery. People live in fear of the police.
But if you were on a regular airline flight (not one of those vacation charters), perhaps you noticed all the people loaded up with toilet paper, soap, etc. There is a serious lack of everything on that island. Not saying you can't go there and leave unmolested, but if you befriend some locals during your several months, you can be sure they'll appreciate some household appliances or everyday tools you may have brought with you without a second thought.
In contrast, your typical study abroad program anywhere else will leave you exposed to middle class citizens who are accustomed to a standard of living similar to your own. There is no such middle class in Cuba.
