Musil was short in stature, but strong and skilled at wrestling, and by his early teens, he proved to be more than his parents could handle.
They sent him to a military boarding school at Eisenstadt (1892–1894) and then Hranice (1894–1897).
The school experiences are reflected in his first novel Die Verwirrungen des Zöglings Törless (The Confusions of Young Törless).
