Yeah, there's nothing wrong with the village (apart from the fact it's not Britten and therefore not worth going anywhere near but hey...), it's out of the way a bit but I have friends there and it seems to have a really homely, friendly atmosphere. At the end of the day, it's luck who you end up in a flat with (well, there's probably some kind of way they do it, and I've been meaning to ask you, UEAAccommodation, but I doubt you'd tell us anyway), and it's up to you to find people you click with if you don't get on with anyone in your flat. I ended up in a flat with mostly international students and my resident tutor, none of which I really have much in common with, except a couple of the guys. I figured I could spend the year moaning about how rubbish my flat was compared to others', or I could find a group of people I clicked with. The flat on the ground floor are ace, and I have a big group of friends there. There will be 'weirdos' wherever you stay, at whatever uni.
Norwich itself is, in my opinion, just right. It's got the city thing going on (clubs and a primark... a girl can only dream) whilst not being so big you get lost in it. If you're from a larger city with loads of massive clubs, you might find it a bit small, but hopefully you'll learn to love it.
