Can I install Ubuntu 13.10 without the internet?

I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux in general.

I'm currently out of town and the dorm I am living in has terrible internet connection. It won't be another 2-3 weeks before I can go home and have proper internet connection.

So my question is whether or not I can install Ubuntu 13.10 in my laptop without the internet and then do the updates once I go home?

Also, I'm attempting to do a dual boot with my Lenovo G505s which was pre-installed with Windows 8. Hopefully I can pull this off.

I already did the necessary things (I think and hope so) prior to installation:

Disable secure boot

Enable legacy and boot UEFI first

Create partition

Put installer in my pen drive

As I am quite new to this, any advice would be of great help. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I tried yesterday. The installation asked me to connect to the internet, so I used my crappy dorm internet. When it reached the downloading/installtion of Ubuntu One, it just stopped and went on forever. So I had to stop it.

Yes. I myself always never set up my wireless during installation.

Also, I'm attempting to do a dual boot with my Lenovo G505s which was pre-installed with Windows 8. Hopefully I can pull this off.

If others can so can you.

Just a remark: sometimes it is helpful to have a connection at hand just for a quick check on how to handle something unexpected. But that does not need to be the system you install Ubuntu on.
