Kansai Gaidai is known for abundant scholarship for only a few students who study very hard and have enough English skill. Therefore, I recommend students who have motivation to study English but not money to enroll the university.
There are not only regular students but also exchange students, so you can meet a lot of foreign people even in campus.
However, only a few students study very hard to improve their ability, so it is important to keep motivation by yourself or make similar types of friends .

They offer you opportunities to lead you future career. The more hard you study, the more able you are to get yourself into many advanced program, such as studying abroad, participating class with English native speakers, or you name it. As for me studied for two semesters in WA, the United States, it was the most valuable time to not only study with local people but experience different culture. It absolutely allowed me to see things from different angles.

Personal recommendation
Go there, not for the academic side, as it is poor, but to discover Japan, learn Japanese by speaking a lot with local people (do not spend your time with the other exchange student, you will regret it eventually), the only classes actually worth paying attention are Japanese classes as they will help you improve, and yea, just make sure you will have lot of money before going there as Japan is awesome if you have money as you will be able to travel a lot, eat out, party, etc.. But if you are poor as some students I knew, it will really affect your experience as you will not be able to do much besides going to school and hanging out with your friends. Also, if you have a girlfriend back home, forget about her as you will be missing on a lot..!
