Hey there @2025st. Square is for business use only. No exceptions. Per the TOS, you are not permitted to set up an account to do this. Also, whatever tax ID is used to process Square transactions automatically becomes the reportable entity — the one responsible for taxes.
I’d recommend that you use something like CashApp or Venmo or such for this purpose. But before you do that, even, I’d recommend a chat with your school’s administrators for suggestions. Local and state laws vary and we can not make recommendations about what is best in your situation.
