Could the conditions for life be different than ours in another part of the universe?

Basically, can other life forms in the universe exist without our specific standards of living. Is it possible for life forms to exist not dependant on water or oxygen? Why is water the standard for looking for life on other planets?

Edit: got more than enough great answers. Thanks everyone!

We don't know what the full range of conditions is under which life can exist.

What we do know is that life is possible in places like the Earth.

So if you were going to look for life, better to spend your efforts in the kinds of places where we know life can exist, but that is not the same as saying life can't exist in other conditions.
