Known issues with Google Apps for MIT.EDU
1
A shared Google Doc links me to the MIT.EDU login page
If Google Apps for a particular domain exists, Google will always include a login and share link to Google Apps for that domain, even if you have not signed up for an account and would prefer to share the document with your personal Google account. Check How can I use a Google sharing link with my personal Google account? for several work-arounds.
2
My MIT email address was removed from my personal Google account!
Google is pushing out a global change to the infrastructure powering Google Apps, consolidating it with the infrastructure that powers personal Google services. This means an email address that is used for logging in can only exist in one place (i.e. you cannot use it for both Google Apps and a personal Google account). Conflicts are rare, but if one is found Google will give precedence to your Google Apps and remove the address from your personal Google account.
