Can my password protected USB be opened on another computer?

I'm using TrueCrypt to protect my USB flash drive with a password. But I installed the software on my laptop and set the password using my laptop, so I'm worried that I won't be able to open my USB on another computer that doesn't have TrueCrypt, such as one at my college. Can my USB still opened on another computer?

Thank you for your help.

    Review this tutorial -- It sounds like when you downloaded TrueCrypt you installed it on your local hard drive, but if all you are using it for is to encrypt your USB drive then you really didn't have to do that. This will clear it up for you. If not, repost...
