I assume you mean 'USB port' in college

The answer is yes. It will be slower but you wont notice that unless you're transferring huge files.

surely a 2.0 port would deliver the same speed to a 1.1 device as a 1.1 port?

As we're on the subject of USB:

is there a real difference between USB 2.0 cables and regular USB cables? or is it just a big scam to charge u extra for the same thing?
