'take courses at home in centre of philadelphia' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'home in centre of philadelphia' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'centre of' indicates the central letters.
The central letters of 'philadelphia' are 'de'.
'in' inserted into 'de' is 'DINE'.
